National Cyber Leap Year 2009
In October 2008, NITRD Program kicked off a National Cyber Leap
Year. That effort proceeded on the premise that, while some
progress on cybersecurity will be made by researching better
solutions to today’s problems, some of those problems may well be
too hard. The Leap Year began pursuing a complementary approach: a
search for ways to bypass the intractable problems. This approach
we call changing the game, as in "if you are playing a game you
can’t win, change the game!"
During the Leap Year, via a Request for Information (RFI) process, the technical community had an opportunity to submit ideas for changing the cyber game. The 238 RFI responses we received led to five new games which were explored at the NCLY Summit 2009. Summit participants examined the forces of progress and inertia and recommended productive ways to induce the new games to materialize over the next decade.
