On December 7th, 2011, Elizabeth Montalbano reported for InformationWeek Government on a White House cybersecurity research and development roadmap.  The roadmap is titled "Trustworthy Cyberspace: Strategic Plan for the Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Program."  The roadmap "aims to jumpstart how the United States approaches the challenge to ensure more effective cyberspace protections."  According to the article, the roadmap identifies four areas of cybersecurity strategy.

The first area is "inducing change", and revolves around coming up with "new ways to disrupt the status quo" to solve cybersecurity problems.  This research will focus on moving away from static, predictable networks to "moving targets" that are more difficult for hackers to infiltrate.

The second research area focuses on treating cybersecurity like a scientific practice by developing repeatable experimental designs, metrics, data-gathering methods, etc.

The third research area focuses on collaboration and coordination between agencies that deal with cybersecurity.

The fourth research area is "to shorten the time it takes for research around cybersecurity to actually be put into practice."
