8.4Summary

NSF invests in cybersecurity research through several programs. A major program in cybersecurity is spearheaded by the NSF Directorate of CISE, in collaboration with the Directorates of EHR, Engineering (ENG), MPS, and SBE Sciences. Another major program is CyberCorps SFS led by the EHR Directorate.1 NSF cybersecurity research activities include

NSF awarded $160 million in cybersecurity research and education across the agency in FY 2015 including grants through the NSF SaTC program.

The RDSP identified six areas critical to successful cybersecurity R&D: (1) scientific foundations; (2) risk management; (3) human aspects; (4) transitioning successful research into practice; (5) workforce development; and (6) enhancing the research infrastructure.

NSF receives approximately 40,000 proposals each year for research, education, and training projects, of which approximately 11,000 are funded. In addition, NSF receives several thousand applications for graduate and postdoctoral fellowships.

The wide variety of NSF-funded cybersecurity research will impact all aspects of cybersecurity and the social and business use of the Internet.

Research such as Brain Hacking: Assessing Psychological and Computational Vulnerabilities in Brain-based Biometrics that evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of brain biometrics can help set the foundation for a new area of biometrics to open in the future.

Projects like The Technological Con-Artistry: An Analysis of Social Engineering will help security professionals and law enforcement officers gain insight into cyberspace-based criminal enterprises and provide an advantage when working to stop or investigate crime.
