Forum on Cyber Resilience

美国国家科学院圆桌会议，即网络弹性论坛，成立于2015年，旨在促进和加强科学家、从业者和政策制定者之间关于关键国家基础设施和社会系统中嵌入的计算和通信系统弹性的思想交流。弹性不仅包括面对攻击时的安全性、抗退化性和从不良事件中恢复的能力，还包括广义的创新和适应能力，以及以反映社会价值观（如隐私）和基础设施众多利益相关者需求的方式吸收技术中断和意外的能力。网络弹性论坛的价值在于成员能够选择共同感兴趣的话题，然后在成员和专家之间进行中立的讨论，建立信任，促进创新解决问题。美国国家科学院（NAS）网络弹性论坛为来自学术界、工业界和政府的利益相关者提供了一个独特的场所，可以从技术上广泛地考虑弹性以及它们之间可能出现的社会紧张关系。论坛探讨了共同感兴趣的关键问题，构建了关于弹性的关键问题和需求，并孵化了对参与者有价值的活动——包括对研究方向、新兴技术、设计和工程方法、人类系统相互作用、政策和社会影响、教育和劳动力考虑以及机构角色的讨论。论坛支持就目标和挑战开展跨部门和公私部门对话，实现论坛成员及其利益相关者对社会的共同目标，尽早确定有希望的方法来提高复原力，并探索案例研究，以汲取适用于其他领域和复原力的经验教训。论坛活动对公众开放，其报告可在NAS网站上公开获取。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 National Academies Roundtable, the Forum on Cyber Resilience, established in 2015, facilitates and enhances the exchange of ideas among scientists, practitioners, and policy makers concerned with the resilience of computing and communications systems that are embedded in the critical national infrastructures and social systems. Resilience encompasses not only security in the face of attacks, resistance to degradation, and the ability to recover from adverse events, but also broadly interpreted, the capacity for innovation and adaptation with the ability to absorb technological disruption and surprise in a way that reflects societal values, such as privacy, and needs of the infrastructure's many stakeholders. The value of the Forum on Cyber Resilience derives from the ability of the members to choose topics of mutual interest and then enable discussions on these issues among members and experts in a neutral setting, building trust and promoting innovative problem-solving. This National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Forum on Cyber Resilience provides a unique venue for stakeholders from academia, industry, and government to broadly consider resilience technologically along with the societal tensions that may arise among them. The Forum explores critical issues of shared interest, framing critical questions and needs on resilience and incubating activities of value to the participants -- encompassing discussions on research directions, emerging technologies, design and engineering approaches, human-system interactions, policy and social implications, education and workforce considerations, and institutional roles. The Forum supports cross-sector and public-private dialogue about goals and challenges, achieving goals shared by the Forum members and their stakeholders for society, enabling early identification of promising approaches to improve resilience, and exploring case studies to extract lessons applicable in other domains and resilience. The Forum events are open to the public, and their reports are publicly available on the NAS website.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.
