April 12, 2010—The CERT Program of the Software Engineering Institute recently published the CERT Research Annual Report 2009. The report describes how CERT research advanced the field of information and systems security during 2009. Each article describes the problem being addressed and the research approach, as well as benefits, accomplishments, and plans for 2010.

The primary goals of the CERT Program are to ensure that appropriate technology and systems management practices are used to resist attacks on networked systems and to limit damage and ensure continuity of critical services in spite of attacks, accidents, or failures. 

The program’s research strategy is to build and maintain a technical center of excellence that uses its operational experience and expertise to look across the entire software life cycle.
