This paper discusses about, National Cyberspace security threat and vulnerability reduction program. As technology evolves and new systems are introduced, new vulnerabilities emerge. Our strategy cannot be to eliminate all vulnerabilities, or to deter all threats. Rather, we will pursue a three-part effort to: Reduce threats and deter malicious actors through effective programs to identify and punish them; Identify and remediate those existing vulnerabilities that could create the most damage to critical systems, if exploited; and Develop new systems with less vulnerability and assess emerging technologies for vulnerabilities.
