Goals and Objectives
The Research Cybersecurity Interest Group (RCsIG) will discuss and develop ideas, activities, and recommended practices for action at the intersection of Research Computing and Data (RCD) Facilitation and Research Cybersecurity, with emphasis on blending populations of RCD professionals and cybersecurity professionals working in research environments.
Our Next Call: January 22, 2026
RCsIG will be dark during the months of November and December, 2025, due to holiday conflicts. Please join us again in January, 2026, and check this page as we near the 22nd for announcement of topic and speaker.
RCsIG meetings are held monthly on the fourth Thursday beginning March 2025 (with time off for the holidays).
