摘要

This paper assesses the need to create a new research organization with the mission to identify and address vulnerabilities in the nation's information systems and networks. Despite the many recent initiatives in this area, a broad cross-section of experts agrees that such an organization-if properly structured-could substantially strengthen a range of needed functions. The paper describes these functions and the kind of organization the experts believe can best perform them.
