The National Security Agency (NSA) has awarded the 12th Annual Best Scientific Cybersecurity Paper Competition to “Decoding Trust: Comprehensive Assessment of Trustworthiness in GPT Models.” The winning paper, authored by 19 researchers including Professors Dawn Song (UC Berkeley), Bo Li (UIUC), and Sanmi Koyejo (Stanford), proposes a groundbreaking evaluation framework for assessing the trustworthiness of large language models (LLMs) such as GPTs.

The National Security Agency has published their 2023 Cybersecurity Year in Review!

In an effort to be more transparent, the National Security Agency publishes an annual year in review sharing information regarding cybersecurity efforts that better equipped U.S. defenses against high priority cyber threats. NSA’s efforts to help secure the nation’s most sensitive systems also help your cybersecurity because NSA cascades these solutions through public guidance and engages with key technology providers to help them bolster the security of their products and services.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has garnered significant attention in recent years, but its roots extend deep into the past. Fundamental AI concepts emerged in the 1950s, with the first neural network constructed from vacuum tubes in 1951 and the concept of training models from data defined in 1958.

Former Office of the National Cyber Director official Anjana Rajan said the defense industrial base should move toward integrating formal methods to prove software is secure from cyber vulnerabilities, as the Defense Department and other agencies look to prioritize efficiencies.

The NSA's Summer Intern Program is currently accepting applications for students to come work at the agency next summer. 

In addition to many others, the Science of Security program is accepting applications during this call. 

The acceptance period is condensed significantly this year (1 September- 14 September)
