FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

Taproot Security Comments on Government Cyber R&D Strategy

Responds to White House RFI

​

Saint Paul, MN, December 17, 2018 –

Taproot Security responded to the president's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Request for Information (RFI) prior to updating the US federal Cybersecurity R&D Strategic Plan in 2019. Taproot asked NSTC to consider disruptive cyber technologies such as AI and IoT that were less mainstream when the strategy was initially written for President Obama.

​

"The R&D strategy was first written for a different president in a different time," said Taproot Security founder Mike McCormick. "Today we face a new threat landscape, and under a new president we have an opportunity to recalibrate the cyber R&D strategy accordingly."

 

Taproot Security's letter to NSTC can be found here.
