Adopting the Trusted CI Framework

Are you a large organization formed from smaller programs and need to unify your cybersecurity strategy? Do you have cybersecurity controls in place but lack a systemic approach to a secure cyberinfrastructure? Trusted CI had your organization in mind when its cybersecurity experts developed a framework that empowers research organizations to confront cybersecurity from a mission-oriented, programmatic, and full lifecycle perspective. Trusted CI can help you identify your cybersecurity needs and develop a plan to achieve solutions.

Trusted CI Spotlight: Ransomware

Ransomware poses an increasing risk to researchers and the higher education community. Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, has a decade of experience in solving the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by the research community. Trusted CI can help you secure your cyberinfrastructure while also considering higher education’s open and collaborative nature, its unique use of instruments, and its large and complex data sets.

Annual Challenge: Operational Technology

This year’s annual challenge is all about operational technology. Operational technology involves networked systems that are simultaneously connected to computing systems on one side and either controls or sensors of physical systems on the other side. Within the scientific research community, these controls and sensors are mission-critical in operating instruments such as telescopes or biological and chemical reactors. Trusted CI has a long history of addressing the challenges of operational technology to help researchers achieve their science mission.
