Get Your Cybersecurity Program Up and Running with the Trusted CI Framework
Learn about the Trusted CI Framework, developed by the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence and created to help your scientific research facility overcome the obstacles to standing up a cybersecurity program for its cyberinfrastructure.
Engaging the Minds We Need
Innovation frequently happens in the liminal spaces between disciplines, where different perspectives collaborate and create new insights into seemingly intractable problems, some of the most pressing of which are global climate change, economic development, and public health. But what happens when millions of vitally needed imaginations and perspectives – these minds – have no access to the cyberinfrastructure that makes global collaboration possible?
Minding Our MANRS: CENIC and Global Internet Routing Security
Categories RENS & NRENS Security Technology & Innovation
Learn about CENIC’s participation in the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) initiative, which ensures a more secure Internet that is less likely to experience network routing issues and distributed denial of service attacks.
Rich Fagen and Networks: from Big Science to High Culture
Rich Fagen, until very recently the Chief Digital Officer at the J. Paul Getty Trust or the Getty, was among the creative founders who helped form CENIC in the 1990s. Now on the occasion of his retirement, his career can be regarded as the perfect reflection of the way high-performance networking – initially created to support data-driven big science – has become just as vital for data-driven arts and culture.
Next Generation Infrastructure, Boosted by MPLS, Delivers Results
Categories RENS & NRENS Technology & Innovation
As CENIC continues the march forward in its upgrade of the CalREN backbone, an important feature of this work has been the migration of member and Associates’ services to Multi-Protocol Label Switching or MPLS with segment routing. Already, CENIC’s engineering teams are closing in on migrating 50 percent of members to MPLS, an exciting achievement that enables a range of new features.
