It’s about trustworthiness of digital infrastructure
1. Security, reliability, resiliency, privacy, usability
2. How can we:Enable risk-aware safe operations in compromised environments
Minimize critical system risk while increasing adversaries’ costs and exposure
Support informed trust decisions, necessitating flexible security strategies, and allowing for effective risk/benefit analyses and implementations
Strong commitment to focus on game-changing technologies for coordinated cybersecurity R&D agenda

Coordination Through ThemesCoordination Through Themes
1. established through robust community discussion of what matters
2. recognizes that independent thinking is vital to good research
3. provides shared vision of desired end state
4. enables focusing of efforts
5. avoids definitional issues
6. avoids information sharing obstacles caused by varying classification levels
7. results in coordinated activities, not a normalized inventory
8. provides an organizing overlay on existing topic taxonomies
