About this document
This document is the result of a series of discussions about the best shape, form and content of a national research agenda in line with the National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS). It formulates, in concrete terms, common thoughts and promising directions for a research agenda in cyber security. While all contributors firmly believe that a realisation of the agenda requires ambitious funding, as well as solid governance and embedding, this document addresses only the research directions. Acknowledgments This document has been edited under the coordination of the ICT Innovatie Platform Veilig Verbonden, with a broad involvement of researchers from various disciplines (computer science, law, public administration, cyber crime sciences and police studies) and from several universities and research centres (RU Nijmegen, VU Amsterdam, TU Eindhoven, University of Twente, TU Delft, Tilburg University, TNO, Novay). Discussions have extensively involved experts from the industry as well as from (semi-)government organizations.
