What we need is to start building software that can fight back. Then we could become part of "cyber warfare" which is much sexier than "software assurance". :)

I think you could get DHS to sponsor one maybe? I think between some government funds, and some vendor support you'd be OK on costs, but the larger question of whether people would come... only time would tell.
