Companies See 'Crisis' in R&D A lack of leadership in federal cybersecurity research and development funding will have serious long-term consequences for the United States without a quick resolution, according to a Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA) report released on July 25. The organization says cybersecurity has been sidelined as a federal R&D priority, even though cybercrimes have risen 1,295 percent over a recent five-year period. CSIA also criticized President Bush's June decision to disband the President's Information Technology Advisory Committee. "The loss of this independent committee's expertise and advice reduces the priority level of cybersecurity R&D, which will continue to dissipate without an advisory body to oversee R&D," warned CSIA executive director Paul Kurtz. The group noted that the Homeland Security Department's science and technology division plans to devote just 2 percent of its $1 billion budget for 2005 to cybersecurity. The CSIA report recommended that coordination of private and government cybersecurity initiatives should be the responsibility of a single federal office, while a national, long-term plan for federal and private computer system security should be mapped out within a decade. The group also called for additional congressional hearings on cybersecurity, and a government/industry alliance to develop more R&D projects... Click Here for Full Details |

OMB Seeks R&D on Supercomputing, Cybersecurity A July 8 memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) calls for greater priority on federal research and development for supercomputing and cybersecurity, but policy analysts lament the memo's implication that R&D budgets will remain flat or be scaled back even further. "Agencies may propose new, high-priority activities, but these requests should identify potential offsets by elimination or reductions in less effective or lower priority programs or programs where federal involvement is no longer needed or appropriate," wrote the memo's authors, who advised agencies to continue their efforts to produce a gap analysis of cybersecurity R&D funding via the National Science and Technology Council. The President's IT Advisory Committee (PITAC) reported in February that the federal civilian cybersecurity budget is insufficient, and recommended that the National Science Foundation's cybersecurity budget receive a yearly increase of $90 million. Former PITAC co-chairman Ed Lazowska says he hopes the OMB/OSTD memo will turn cybersecurity into a bigger area of concentration. Less positive is Peter Harsha with the Computing Research Association, who says that "whether [the Bush administration will] take the PITAC-recommended step to address the gap--increasing the investment in civilian cybersecurity research--is less clear."..
