Trusted CI Ambassadors to the NSF Major Facilities

The NSF Major Facilities are key stakeholders for Trusted CI’s work. Trusted CI aims to support the mission of scientific discovery of the NSF Major Facilities by helping the facilities to establish, evaluate, implement, and evolve their cybersecurity programs, following the methodology established by the Trusted CI Framework. To support this aim, Trusted CI assigns a staff member as an "ambassador" to each NSF Major Facility. This helps Trusted CI to maintain connections with all the NSF Major Facilities, including an up-to-date understanding of the cybersecurity needs of each facility, so that Trusted CI can better serve those needs.
