Join WISE for a full day session at the NSF Cybersecurity Summit in Alexandria, Virginia, USA on August 21st!
The day will cover:
- Operational Security threat intelligence and communication (SOCs)
- SCI working group (Policy Development Kit, Baseline AUP and EU GDPR)
- Security challenges for high-throughput data transfers
Please join the community mail list (see below) and let us know if you’re coming so that we can plan an evening activity.
Session Description:
About WISE:
The WISE (Wise Information Security for collaborating Einfrastructures) community was born as the result of a first workshop in October 2015. It was agreed then that collaboration and trust is the key to successful information security in the world of federated digital infrastructures for research. WISE is an international community with participants spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
WISE provides a trusted global environment where security experts from general and research domain-specific Infrastructures can share information on topics such as risk management, experiences about certification processes and threat intelligence. With participants from e-Infrastructures such as EGI, EUDAT, GEANT, EOSC-hub, PRACE, XSEDE, OSG, NRENs and more, the main aim of WISE is to promote best practice in Information Security by developing trust frameworks, template policies and guidelines for e-Infrastructures.
The actual work of WISE is performed in focused working groups, each tackling different aspects of collaborative security and trust. This year we have 3 new working groups which are currently starting their work, two of which will lead sessions during this training event.
Target Audience:
We invite security representatives from E-Infrastructures and Large-Scale NSF facilities to participate. This includes operational security individuals and policy makers. Some of the topics will be training sessions with hands-on exercises while others will be management/planning/brainstorming sessions, to assist the working groups in the production of new template policies and best-practice documents.
Agenda:
We propose a full day with the following tentative agenda, combining informational and interactive activities:
