NCSA's Cybersecurity and Networking Division (CSND) will be working on a newly announced project called FABRIC. FABRIC is "a unique national research infrastructure to enable cutting-edge and exploratory research at-scale in networking, cybersecurity, distributed computing and storage systems, machine learning, and science applications." In a press release announcing the project, CSND's David Wheeler said, “Through supporting a FABRIC Edge node with our high capacity Wide Area Network to the nationwide infrastructure, this is a great opportunity for the University of Illinois, NCSA, and XSEDE to participate in the advancement of networks and services to further discovery.”
