Session Description:

About WISE:

The WISE (Wise Information Security for collaborating E-infrastructures) community was born as the result of a workshop in October 2015, which was jointly organized by the GÉANT group SIG-ISM (Special Interest Group on Information Security Management) and SCI, the ‘Security for Collaboration among Infrastructures’ group of staff from several large-scale distributed computing infrastructures. All agreed at the workshop that collaboration and trust is the key to successful information security in the world of federated digital infrastructures for research. WISE is an international community with participants spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia.

...

The community is currently working on defining a comprehensive security training catalogue (STAA-WG), risk assessment template (RAW-WG), big data best practice guidelines (SBOD-WG) and guidance for assessing an infrastructure against the new version 2 of SCI, the framework established to ease cross-infrastructure information exchange during security incidents (SCIv2-WG).

Target Audience:

We invite security representatives from E-Infrastructures to participate. This includes operational security individuals and policy makers.

Agenda:

We propose a full day with the following tentative agenda, combining informational and interactive activities:
