In order to shape research and innovation policy aimed at strengthening the cybersecurity domain as effectively (in achieving specific policy goals) and efficiently (in terms of the use of public resources) as possible, insight is needed into the (different forms of) impact of R&D&I.
An initial comprehensive analysis in the context of this broad study has confirmed that this insight is precisely lacking - due to a lack of relevant statistics and a (widely accepted) methodological framework to capture the effects of research and innovation. This report describes the results of a study on the impact of R&D&I in the cybersecurity domain.
In order to contribute to the shaping of effective and efficient research and innovation policy in the cybersecurity domain, the following questions were addressed within the context of this study:
- How does cybersecurity R&D&I lead to societal and economic value? What is the 'underlying' process?
- What is the current status of the Netherlands - from input to impact?
- What is the influence of policy on the current situation?
- How should the future policy mix be shaped?
