The Fifth Workshop on Trustworthy Scientific Cyberinfrastructure (TrustedCI@PEARC21) provides an opportunity for sharing experiences, recommendations, and solutions for addressing cybersecurity challenges in research computing. The half-day workshop provides a forum for information sharing and discussion among a broad range of attendees, including cyberinfrastructure operators, developers, and users.
Implementing cybersecurity for open science across the diversity of scientific research projects presents a significant challenge. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cybersecurity for open science that the research community can adopt. Even NSF Major Facilities, the largest of the NSF projects, struggle to develop effective cybersecurity programs. To address this challenge, practical approaches are needed to manage risks while providing both flexibility for project-specific adaptations and access to the necessary knowledge and human resources for implementation. This workshop brings community members together to further develop a cybersecurity ecosystem, formed of people, practical knowledge, processes, and cyberinfrastructure, that enables research projects to both manage cybersecurity risks and produce trustworthy science.
