For professors engaged in research, security and compliance are typically an afterthought to their discipline and scientific discovery. In addition, researchers have generally valued collaborative relationships with talent from abroad, and many of the best researchers in the United States are immigrants. However, rising cybersecurity threats coupled with perceived threats about the theft of U.S. intellectual property have created a need for a culture of cybersecurity.

Join us on Tuesday, May 13, at 2 p.m. ET for a virtual forum where experts in cybersecurity will share how and why scholars must keep their research secure. This free event will explore:

  • How to help researchers understand and prioritize security risks.
  • How to create strategies for balancing collaboration and protection.
  • How to effectively train and educate researchers to be more aware of securing their work.
