The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced the first group of teams from the Cyber Grand Challenge. The DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge is a tournament designed to increase the development of automated security systems able to defend against cyber attacks as fast as they are launched.

This is becoming an even greater concern as more and more devices, including vehicles and homes, get networked in what has become known as “the Internet of things.” From DARPA’s announcement yesterday: “Today’s security methods involve experts working with computerized systems to identify attacks, craft corrective […]
Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
