DHS laid out its areas of interest in a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) dated January 26. In it, the domestic security agency said it was soliciting papers and proposals centered on 14 different topic areas.

DHS's areas of interest include software assurance, enterprise security metrics, usable security, as well as the challenges posed by insider threats."
