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: June 25, 2026

Please join us on Thursday, June 25, 2026, 11:00am to 12:00pm PT (2:00 to 3:00pm ET) for our monthly call, and share with colleagues who may also be interested in attending!

Topic: BoF-Style Discussion on NSPM-33

Guest Speakers: Laura Raderman and Tim Daniel representing Trusted CI

Laura Raderman and Tim Daniel will be representing Trusted CI at this month’s RCsIG call, which will be a BoF-style discussion on the research cybersecurity requirements under NSPM-33. Join us for their brief presentation on the proposed guidelines (currently being referred to as the “Effective Practices”) and their current status. The remainder of the time will be dedicated to open discussion on the requirements, anticipated challenges, and potential resources Trusted CI can develop to support institutions and research organizations impacted by the requirements.

If you already have a V-Card, we recommend that you update it with any new topics you would like to discuss. If you have not yet created a V-Card, please open the link and populate a slide with your name, home institution, role, and a suggested future topic, speaker, or discussion.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the next call!

RCsIG meetings are held monthly on fourth Thursdays at 11am PT.
