CICI: CSRC: Research Security Operations Center (ResearchSOC)

研究安全运营中心(ResearchSOC)为研究和教育(R&A；E；E)社区提供所需的网络安全服务、培训和信息共享，使科学计算具有抵御网络攻击的能力，并能够支持值得信赖的、富有成效的研究。R&Amp；E社区在网络安全方面面临着特殊的挑战：规模和自主性很大，使用不同的基础设施(科学仪器、传感器网络、测序仪等)，科学工作的高度协作和动态性质，以及获得支持研究环境中的网络安全所需的稀缺领域专业知识。为了应对这些挑战，ResearchSOC利用印第安纳大学、杜克大学、匹兹堡超级计算中心和加州大学圣地亚哥大学的现有网络安全服务。它根据研发社区的需求定制这些服务，并将这些运营服务与建立一个共享知识和专业知识以及运营情报的实践社区相结合。研究中心还提供外展和培训，以教育研究项目团队和高等教育信息安全社区有关研究的信息安全。研究SOC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，以提高信息安全的整体水平。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
