Program Areas
Through a practitioner-driven approach, the Science and Technology Directorate’s Cyber Security Division (CSD) creates and deploys information resources—standards, frameworks, tools, and technologies to enable seamless and secure interactions among homeland security stakeholders. With its Federal partners, the Cyber Security Division is working to strengthen capabilities to communicate, share, visualize, analyze, and protect information.
The Cyber Security R&D Center (CSRDC) plans, coordinates, manages, and conducts activities to secure the cyberspace. CSRDC works with research organizations, critical
infrastructure operators and developers, and others. Its activities include the development of the cybersecurity research roadmap, research program management, testbeds, experimentation and exercise development, coordinating the Infosec Technology Transition Council, and various other activities with links noted on this webpage.
