As recently as December 2025, the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI's) CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) documented a UEFI-related vulnerability in certain mot...
In February 2026, Paul Nielsen announced that he will transition out of his role as director and chief executive officer of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. During Nielsen's tenure, the SEI has marked major institutional milestones that underscore its enduring role in strengthening the security, resilience, and reliability of the nation's software- and AI-intensive systems...
Cybersecurity staffing shortages are a major concern in the government given the increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks on the nation's critical infrastructure. In the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congress tasked the Pentagon with finding flexible options to address cyber staffing needs. The Pentagon commissioned the SEI to conduct an independent study to assess the feasibility and advisability of creating a ...
While Stanford University found that AI investments, optimism, and accessibility are rising, a recent MIT report suggests that 95 percent of organizations are realizing no returns on their generative AI...
On November 7, the Department of War released an acquisition transformation strategy that seeks to remove bureaucratic hurdles and streamline acquisition processes to enable even more rapid adoption of technologies, including artificial intelligence. Getting AI into the hands of warfighters requires disciplined AI Engineering. In this podcast from the Carnegie ...
Organizations, including the U.S. military, are increasingly adopting cloud deployments for their flexibility and cost savings. The shared security model utilized by cloud service providers removes some of the adopting organization's responsibility for system administration and security. But it leaves them on the hook for monitoring hosted applications and resources. Cloud flow logs are a valuable source of data for supporting thes...
From early 2022 through late 2024, a group of threat actors publicly known as APT28 exploited known...
How can you ever know whether an LLM is safe to use? Even self-host
Software bills of materials or SBOMs are critical to software security and supply chain risk management. Ideally, regardless of the SBOM tool, the output should be consistent for a given piece of software. But that is not always the case. The divergence of results can undermine confidence in software quality and security. In our latest podcast from the Carneg...
Application programing interfaces, more commonly known as APIs, are the engines behind the majority of internet traffic. The pervas...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformational technology, but it has limitations in challenging operational settings. Researchers in the AI Division of the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI)<...
A recent Google survey found that many developers felt comfortable using the Rust programming language in two months or less. Yet barriers to Rust adoption remain, particularly ...
In response to Exe...
Container images are increasingly being used as the main method for software deployment, so ensuring the reproducibility of container images is becoming a critical step in protecting the software supply chain. Read more
Software enables our way of life, but market forces have sidelined security concerns leaving systems vulnerable to attack. Fixing this problem will require the software industry to develop an initial s...
A January 2025 Defense Innovation Board study on scaling nontraditional defense innovation stated, "We must act swiftly to ensure the DoD leads in global innovation and competition over AI and autonomous systems – and is a trendsetter for their responsible use in modern warfare." In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), chief technical officer Tom Longstaff di...
Warfighters in the Department of Defense (DoD) operate in high-stakes environments where security, efficiency, and speed are critical. In such environments DevSecOps has become crucial in the drive toward modernization and overall mission success. A recent study led by researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) examined the state of DevSecOps within the Department of Defe...
