2015 NSF Cybersecurity Summit for Large Facilities and Cyberinfrastructure

The NSF cyberinfrastructure ecosystem presented an aggregate of complex cybersecurity needs (e.g., scientific data and instruments, unique computational and storage resources, complex collaborations) as compared to other organizations and sectors. This community had a unique opportunity to develop information security practices tailored to these needs, as well as break new ground on efficient, effective ways to protect information assets while supporting science. The Summit brought together leaders in NSF cyberinfrastructure and cybersecurity to continue the processes initiated in 2013 and 2014: Building a trusting, collaborative community, and seriously addressing that community's core cybersecurity challenges.
