The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $12.5m renewal grant to Trusted CI, the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCoE). The renewal award will fund the Center through 2024. “The dynamic, open, and distributed nature of scientific collaboration introduces unique cybersecurity challenges for scientific cyberinfrastructure,” said NCSA’s Jim Basney, who serves as deputy director of Trusted CI. “With our focus on cybersecurity for NSF science, Trusted CI provides leadership and guidance that addresses these unique challenges.”
More details about Trusted CI, and its goals for the next five years, are available in the NCSA press release.
On September 27-29, CSND's Jim Basney and John Zage participated in SFSCon 2019, the third annual cybersecurity training and professional development event at Cal Poly Pomona (CPP) for the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service (SFS) students and alumni nationwide. 105 student attendees traveled to California from 42 universities across the country for this event. Jim and John provided an Identity and Access Management training, using materials developed by Trusted CI. Jim also served on a cybersecurity career panel to discuss job opportunities (see NCSA Careers for our current openings). NCSA was a sponsor of the event.
