Since 2005, when the first I3P research project was launched, the consortium has continued to build its research portfolio, expanding into critical areas that are not being adequately addressed elsewhere, and where the I3P's multi-disciplinary approach can achieve the greatest impact. A previous study of process control systems security for the oil and gas industry has expanded into a survivability and recovery project for process control systems, and a study on the economics of cyber security has deepened into a broad-ranging look at how one develops a business rationale for investing in cyber security. In addition, three new projects-one on securing digital identities, a second on protecting against insider threat, and a third on creating market incentives for security through accurate pricing of risk-are now underway.
Each I3P research project has a clear focus on useful outcomes: typically security tools, technologies and practices that can be adopted by companies or governments. Such solutions are made possible by bringing stakeholders and end-users into the research process from the start and by integrating technology transfer plans into the project at its earliest stages.
More than 100 I3P researchers from dozens of disciplines and backgrounds are collaborating to understand and mitigate critical challenges in the field of cyber security. Five multi-institutional I3P teams are currently investigating the following topics:
