SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMEInformation & Communication TechnologiesTrustworthy ICTGrant Agreement No. 257007A European Network of Excellence in Managing Threats andVulnerabilities in the Future Internet: Europe for the WorldAfter the completion of its second year of operation, the SysSec Network ofExcellence produced this “Red Book of Cybersecurity” to serve as a roadmapin the area of systems security. To realize this book, SysSec put together a TaskForce of top-level young researchers in the area, steered by the advice ofSysSec WorkPackage Leaders. The Task Force had vibrant consultations withthe Working Groups of SysSec, the Associated members of SysSec, and thebroader Systems Security Community. Capturing their feedback in an on-linequestionnaire and in forward-looking “what if” questions, the Task Forcedistilled their knowledge, their concerns, and their vision for the future.The result of this consultation has been captured in this book, which we hopewill serve as a roadmap of systems security research, and as an advisorydocument for policy makers and researchers who would like to have animpact on the security of the future Internet.
