Have a great idea for an information security research topic? Why not write up a white paper and pitch it to the Department of Homeland Security? The DHS Cyber Security Research Development Center (that’s a mouthful) is soliciting research ideas on cutting edge security topics. Anything from combating botnets, routing protocol security, to data visualization. Of course, they’re interested in the bread and butter research of malware protection and insider threat management as well.
DHS will award up to $4.5 million for the research, which is a pretty good amount of money to get the ball rolling. Check out the actual solicitation here.
