PITAC calls for increases in basic cyber security R&D

http://www.cra.org/govaffairs/blog/archives/000218.html

"The President's Information Technology Advisory Committee
(PITAC) achieved consensus yesterday on the final draft of
its report on the status of the federal cyber security R&D
effort, finding that support for civilian-oriented,
fundamental cyber security research is seriously inadequate,
the pool of researchers is insufficient, and that
coordination between funding agencies is lacking. ... The
report will note problems in all three agencies one would
expect to be funding critical long-term cyber security R&D:
NSF, DARPA and the Department of Homeland Security. ... "
