The 2016 NSF Community Cybersecurity Benchmarking Survey Report is now available:

Benchmarking information is frequently used to develop a common understanding of cybersecurity’s status and norms within a community. The purpose of this survey project was to collect, analyze, and publish useful baseline benchmarking information about the NSF science community’s cybersecurity programs, practices, challenges, and concerns. We received 27 responses to the survey including 16 responses from respondents with annual budgets greater than $1M (including 9 responses from the ~25 NSF Large Facilities).

We hope the results and analysis provide some benchmarking insight and inspire discussion.
