Aims and Objectives
The Task Forces and SIGs: | In order to: | Examples: | Current Year Priorities: |
|---|---|---|---|
1, Facilitate the sharing of experience, best practice and standardisation in the following areas: security, identity, developer, campus, communications, cloud, connectivity and community. | Produce outputs to support that shared experience | SIG-ISM: published white papers on risk and security management. Two working groups established and running, as well as 4 regional working groups (2 already actively working together). DDoS Mitigation workshop. | Managing portfolio coherently, working on processes for completing groups more effectively, more work on requirements with GCC. Developing SIG-Greenhouse and SIG-NGN. |
| 2, Explore lower level Technology Readiness Levels in the following areas: security, identity, developer, campus, communications, cloud, connectivity and community. | Run small scale discussions, tests and pilots around these ideas | SIG-CISS: full-stack cloud software architectures and deployments. Mobility work: govroam planning, interoperability with public wifi / shared SSIDs (and WIFI4EU discussions), Let's RadSec, NRENs and IoT, improving monitoring tools, 5G opportunities. TF-CSIRT: developing Splunk for incident response, response testing development to service. | Proposal from Klaas on innovation pipeline. |
| 3, Provide platforms to promote and get feedback on the work of GÉANT and its partners in the following areas: security, identity, developer, campus, communications, cloud, connectivity and community. | Improve the uptake and knowledge of services and developments through that dissemination | Promoting Sirtfi at TF-CSIRT. Promoting Trusted Introducer at TF-CSIRT. Vendor presentations at TF-CSIRT, TF-Storage. | Developing more processes and tools to support communication, building on blogging focus of year one. Areas will be innovating event programmes, communication between meetings and meeting and output evaluation. |
| 4, Develop training and materials to support needs in the following areas: security, identity, developer, campus, communications, cloud, connectivity and community. | Upskill the community | SIG-NOC: training proposal. Crisis Management Exercise. | Support for SIG-NOC training. Schools connectivity and education focused workshops. |
| 5, Support Community Services in the following areas: security, identity, developer, campus, communications, cloud, connectivity and community. | Implement services that cannot be funded via different routes | TF-CSIRT: Trusted Introducer. SIG-CISS: Owncloud preferential pricing agreement. |
