10. Abstract
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Technology Evaluation, is conducting a survey and
assessment of the types of select security-related hardware and software products developed, manufactured, or marketed for use in information network
devices and systems. The assessment, requested by the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, covers a range of topics including
technology sharing, information network devices incorporating software, software design and manufacturing, product end users, and related supply chain
issues. Information on company finances, research and development spending, and capital expenditures also is collected in this assessment. The resulting
aggregate data and subsequent analysis will allow the U.S. Government and industry to understand the extent to which certain types of information network
technology is employed in products sold by companies operating in the United States. This data collection will also enable industry and government policy
officials to benchmark industry practices and to raise awareness of potential issues of concern.
