The National Security Agency held its first Science of Security (SoS) Community Meeting on November 29-30, 2012 at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

Over 150 leaders from government, industry, and the academic community met to discuss new and ongoing programs in security science being pursued by U.S. government research sponsors, and an exciting new Cybersecurity Research Institute recently established in the U.K.  The presentations included work in a broad range of disciplines including mathematics, computer science, behavioral science, economics, physics, and biology.  The meeting introduced a new Science of Security Virtual Organization website designed to promote research collaboration and community development.  NSA's Director of Research concluded the meeting with the announcement of a Cybersecurity Science Paper Competition.
