Dec 2017: The State of the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence

The NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE) leads the NSF community in addressing the cybersecurity challenges in producing trustworthy science. Beginning as the Center for Trusted Scientific Cyberinfrastructure (CTSC) in 2013, the CCoE, funded by NSF's Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure, provides cybersecurity resources and services to NSF projects and facilities, at no fee to them. Examples include webinars, the annual NSF Cybersecurity Summit, one-on-one engagements, training, and best practices in the realms of operations, identity management, and software development.

This talk will cover:

• The CCoE’s vision for cybersecurity in the NSF community;

• The CCoE’s mission and an overview of services offered by the CCoE to the NSF community to instantiate that vision, highlighting recent initiatives on software assurance and reaching small-to-medium sized projects; and

• Experiences and lessons learned in community engagement and cybersecurity for science over the past four years.
