Closing the Software Understanding Gap

In today’s digital landscape, software is the backbone of critical infrastructure and national security systems, yet it remains widely misunderstood. The software understanding gap, where software complexity outpaces our ability to secure and analyze it, poses a growing risk to mission-critical operations. Without deep insights into software behavior, vulnerabilities remain undetected, leaving essential systems exposed to cyber threats and exploitation. Addressing this gap is not just about security; it’s about ensuring trust, resilience, and strategic advantage in an era where software dictates global power dynamics.
