Security Management and Cyberinfrastructure

Science and engineering projects are creating "virtual organizations" with participants from around the world. The rules and conventions of virtual organizations and their means of achieving success are evolving every day. In this session, we will explore the security challenges of virtual organizations. Grid security technologies and policy will be discussed to develop guidelines for strengthening security in virtual organizations.

To protect information assets and contribute to the security of critical infrastructures, colleges and universities must empower an individual, such as the Chief Security Officer, or a team with the authority, the resources, and the support needed to effectively maintain an information security program.
