2008-2009 Cybersecurity Summit for NSF Large Research Facilities

研究和教育界迫切需要有效和高效的策略来保护其IT基础设施。这一要求在大型、联邦资助的研究机构中尤为重要，这些研究机构运行着非常庞大的、相互连接的各种资源网络，包括计算机、信息存储和特殊仪器。出于这个原因，美国国家科学基金会及其合作机构正在举办一个论坛，将利益相关者聚集在一起，建立并保持合作努力，以推进大学和政府研究界的网络安全。与网络安全领域的领先专家一起，与会者将努力确定主要威胁、战略和解决方案，以解决一类非常困难的技术、政策和实践问题，这些问题日益威胁到支持分布式科学研究的大型设施的成功运营。

The research and education community faces a pressing need for effective and efficient strategies for securing its IT infrastructure. This requirement is particularly important in large, federally sponsored research facilities that operate very substantial, interconnected networks of diverse resources including computers, information stores, and special instrumentation. For this reason, the National Science Foundation and its partner agencies are hosting a forum to bring together stakeholders to establish and maintain collaborative efforts to advance cybersecurity among the university and government research community. Along with leading experts in cybersecurity, the attendees will work to identify major threats, strategies, and solutions for a class of very difficult problems of technology, policy, and practice that increasingly threaten the successful operations of large facilities in support of distributed scientific research.
