A free workshop for researcher-facing cybersecurity professionals sponsored by the ResearchSOC and National Science Foundation
December 8-10, 2020, virtually via Zoom and Slack (US Pacific Standard Time)
Registration for the December workshop is closed. We thank the community for the overwhelming response! Please complete the form to be waitlisted and/or provide us your input on an early 2021 workshop. Apply here.
This workshop is a training and development opportunity for researcher-facing cybersecurity professionals who are responsible for applying standard security operations to the heterogeneous research ecosystem to develop research-specific cybersecurity approaches at their home institutions.
Research activities and research computing in higher education require an approach that differs from standard operational work by cybersecurity professionals in order to successfully engage with the research community and to design, create, and implement effective, personalized cybersecurity plans for sponsored programs. Research computing and data handling and storage must be resilient to cyber-attacks in a manner that will not hinder research activities.
