At this week’s 2016 R&D Showcase and Technical Workshop, Doug Maughan, Director of the Cyber Security Division of the DHS S&T Directorate, made an exciting announcement about the vision of the CSD, and the SWAMP plays a critical role.

Federal News Radio announced, “The Homeland Security Department’s Science and Technology Directorate is requiring that its research partners test and evaluate their software in the Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP) before delivering it to the agency.”

“How do we hold vendors accountable to ensure that the products that they’re submitting and selling to the government are as high quality as they can be?” …Part of our story is that the Software Assurance Marketplace that exists and is used daily could be part of that equation,” Maughan stated.
