CICI: CSRC: Research Security Operations Center (ResearchSOC)

研究安全运营中心（ResearchSOC）为研究和教育（R&amp；E）社区提供网络安全服务、培训和信息共享，使科学计算能够抵御网络攻击，并能够支持值得信赖的、富有成效的研究。研发社区在网络安全方面面临着特殊的挑战：规模和自主权的大跨度，不同基础设施（科学仪器，传感器网络，测序器等）的使用，科学工作的高度协作和动态性质，以及获取稀缺的领域专业知识，以支持研究背景下的网络安全。为了应对这些挑战，ResearchSOC利用了印第安纳大学、杜克大学、匹兹堡超级计算中心和加州大学圣地亚哥分校现有的网络安全服务。它根据R&amp；E社区的需求定制这些服务，并将这些操作服务与建立实践社区相结合，以共享知识和专业知识以及操作情报。ResearchSOC还提供针对教育研究项目团队和高等教育信息安全社区的外展和培训，涉及研究的信息安全。ResearchSOC正在与网络安全研究社区合作，以确定如何推进研究活动，并为研究目的提供数据，以提高信息安全领域的整体水平。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Research Security Operations Center (ResearchSOC) provides the research and education (R&E) community with cybersecurity services, training, and information sharing needed to make scientific computing resilient to cyberattacks and capable of supporting trustworthy, productive research. The R&E community has particular challenges regarding cybersecurity: a large span of size and autonomy, the use of diverse infrastructure (scientific instruments, sensor networks, sequencers, etc.), the highly collaborative and dynamic nature of scientific work, and acquiring the scarce domain expertise expertise needed to support cybersecurity in the research context.To address these challenges, the ResearchSOC leverages existing cybersecurity services from Indiana University, Duke University, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, and the University of California San Diego. It tailors these service to the needs of the R&E community and combines these operational services with the establishment of a community of practice for sharing knowledge and expertise, and operational intelligence. The ResearchSOC also offers outreach and training targeted at educating research project teams and the higher education information security community regarding information security for research. The ResearchSOC is engaging with the cybersecurity research community to discern how it can advance research activities and make data available for research purposes in order to improve the overall state of the art in information security.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
