DARPA Community Discusses Future of Cybersecurity

Last month, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) gathered together almost 700 experts from the cyber security community to discuss the future direction of cyber issues surrounding national security. The colloquium took place in Arlington, Va. and focused on finding themes that represent where the rapidly evolving field is likely to head in the next few years. Attendees also had the opportunity to see the latest projects in DARPA's Cyber Program, including attempts to improve the transmission of encrypted communications and efforts to streamline government contracting.
