Workshop: Security at Line Speed: Developing Next Generation Guidelines for Network Security in the Research and Higher Education Community

今天，研究网络社区面临着两个困难且看似矛盾的任务。 第一个问题是，面对全国范围内日益增长的网络保护需求，需要加强本地网络安全;第二个问题是，需要支持部署先进的网络服务，供校园研究人员使用分布式计算环境。研讨会的目的是提出一个流程，以便开始将这些正交需求分解为一个协调的架构，从而推动网络研究和校园部署。 讲习班交付成果包括：1）创建和发布需求文档，详细说明在保留多层高级网络服务的同时提高网络安全性所涉及的技术问题2）为高级、高性能网络环境制定当前实践清单，确定领先校园将科学网络与露营网络安全相结合的有效现有方法，以及3）创建常设专家咨询委员会，定期讨论高性能安全方面的新问题和工具，广泛促进这些讨论并更新清单和需求文档。通过这些活动，联邦资助机构将被告知投资的关键领域，以确保线速的安全性，大型学术研究机构将能够提高网络安全性，同时保持一个环境，使其先进的科学和教育任务。 此外，随着更大的网络安全研究战略计划和供资举措的制定，讲习班的成果可能会很有用。

There are two difficult and seemingly contradictory imperatives facing the research networking community today. The first is the need to enhance local network security in the face of increased nationwide cyberprotection requirements, and the second is the need to support deployment of advanced networked services for campus researchers using distributed computing environments.The purpose of the workshop is to propose a process to begin to resolve these orthogonal requirements into a coordinated architecture that will drive network research and campus deployments. Workshop deliverables include:1) creation and publication of a Requirements Document specifying the technical issues involved in improving network security while preserving multiple layers of advanced network services2) development of an Inventory of Current Practices for advance, high performance network environments identifying effective existing approaches used by leading campuses to integrate scientific networking with campout network security, and3) creation of a standing expert Advisory Board to regularly discuss new issues and tools in high performance security, with broad promotion of those discussions and updates to the Inventory and Requirements documents.Through these activities, federal funding agencies will be informed of key areas for investments to ensure security at line speed, and large academic research institutions will be able to improve network security while preserving an environment that enables their advanced scientific and education missions. In addition, workshop outcomes are likely to be useful as the larger cybersecurity research strategic plan and funding initiatives are developed.
