by:
- Raising awareness
of IT risks, vulnerabilities and protection requirements, particularly
for new and emerging technologies;
- Researching,
studying, and advising agencies of IT vulnerabilities and devising
techniques for the cost-effective security and privacy of sensitive
Federal systems;
- Developing standards,
metrics, tests and validation programs:
- to promote,
measure, and validate security in systems and services
- to educate
consumers and
- to establish
