Updated version of the National Cyber Security Research Agenda (NCSRA) released


The government of the Netherlands has presented the new National Cyber Security Research Agenda (NCSRA II) with a strong emphasis on offensive operational cyber activities. The NCSRA II serves as the guiding document for cyber security research proposals in the Netherlands and can be downloaded from: http://www.nctv.nl/Images/ncsra-ii_tcm126-521030.pdf

The NCSRA II is a very interesting read. The possible research topics stated (1.9 Offensive Cyber-Capacities) are in line with the development of offensive cyber attack capability mentioned in the Defense Cyber Strategy by the Netherlands MoD: http://www.rijksoverheid.nl/bestanden/documenten-en-publicaties/brochures/2012/06/27/brochure-defensie-cyber-strategie/brochure-defensie-cyber-strategie.pd
