things and other consumer devices are frequently motivated by speed to market rather than strong security. Even specialized technologies, like medical devices and industrial control systems, remain susceptible to compromise. DHS must foster innovations that can shift the status quo toward improved security and resilience. DHS must partner with information technology, communications, cybersecurity services, and other communities to incentivize security and enable cybersecurity outcomes such as minimizing vulnerabilities and addressing supply chain risks. DHS must also encourage improved security for cloud infrastructure and throughout the life-cycle of internet-of-things devices and emerging technologies. In addition, DHS must focus on efforts to enhance the overall resiliency of networks that can be vulnerable to a variety of attacks. DHS must leverage our unique expertise to support associated standards-setting efforts, and ensure all of our related activities are aligned with those of interagency and international partners to ensure consistency of approaches. Sub-Objectives: a. Identify and foster high-leverage innovations to drive more secure software, hardware, services, and technologies, and more resilient networks. b. Develop solutions to identify and manage supply chain risks for federal networks and other national and global stakeholders. c. Engage with relevant stakeholders to enhance cybersecurity of cloud infrastructure, internet-of-things products, and other emerging technologies or otherwise mitigate associated threats to networks. Outcomes: More secure and resilient technologies and networks result in a more defensible cyber ecosystem. Objective 6.2: Prioritize DHS cybersecurity research, development, and technology transition activities to support DHS mission objectives. DHS research and development efforts must continue to support and advance our cybersecurity objectives, including the development of protective capabilities to secure the federal enterprise and critical infrastructure and necessary tools for law enforcement. DHS must also prioritize research and development that supports incident response, information sharing, and other cybersecurity objectives identified in this strategy. DHS must leverage commercial capabilities and research and development efforts targeting information and communication technology. Where DHS invests in cybersecurity research and development, we must focus on capabilities and innovations that support departmental priorities and can be employed by DHS and other key stakeholders, to include private sector, state, local, tribal, territorial, and international partners. Sub-Objectives: a. Develop and implement effective methods to prioritize research and development needs based on identified DHS cybersecurity objectives. b. Identify, develop, and transition new capabilities and innovations that support DHS cybersecurity objectives. 23
