DesignSafe-CI and CTSC Engage for Cyber-checkup


CTSC has initiated an engagement with DesignSafe-CI (DesignSafe) (NSF-1520817, NSF-1612144, NSF-1612843), a component of the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) and funded by the NSF under a Cooperative Agreement through the Division Of Civil, Mechanical, & Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) (NSF-1520817). The scope of the engagement is to perform a cyber-checkup -- a high-level review of the project’s cybersecurity program. The process tailored to DesignSafe’s needs will constitute a fact-finding exercise that delves into DesignSafe’s security processes, policies and protocols. Due to the maturity of DesignSafe’s existing security program, CTSC anticipates the engagement will be completed by November 2017.
