The <a href="https://wise-community.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WISE Community</a> (Wise Information Security for E-infrastructure) is proud to announce that the governing principles and approach of the <a href="https://wise-community.org/sci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SCI Framework</a> were endorsed by key e-infrastructures for research from Europe and the rest of the world.
SCI (Security for Collaborating Infrastructures) is a framework of best practices and policy standards for security with the goal of facilitating collaboration during and after security incidents. SCI&#8217;s governing principles cover incident containment, forensics, data protection and risk management and analysis of preventive measures.
The <a href="https://wise-community.org/sci/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SCI framework</a> is the first output of the WISE Community, set up in 2015 as a forum for security experts to discuss and share information on risk management, operational security and threat intelligence in the context of e-Infrastructures. SCI&#8217;s updated version 2 was officially endorsed during the <a href="https://tnc17.geant.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TNC 2017</a> event by representatives of EGI, EUDAT, GÉANT, GridPP, PRACE, SURF, WLCG and the USA&#8217;s XSEDE e-infrastructure.
With this endorsement, the e-infrastructures subscribe to the governing principles and approach of SCI as a medium of building trust and exchanging information in the event of security incidents.
Hannah Short, chair of the <a href="https://wise-community.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WISE Steering Committee</a>, said:
&#8220;We are thrilled that SCI will be our first official WISE output. This endorsement shows us that we are on the right track for making information security for collaborating e-infrastructures a little wiser!&#8221;
Representatives of the endorsing e-infrastructures and projects also added their view on the SCI framework:
<a href="https://www.egi.eu/about/egi-foundation/team/tiziana-ferrari/">Tiziana Ferrari</a>, technical director of the <a href="https://www.egi.eu/">EGI Foundation</a>:
&#8220;We know from our experience of working with 350 federated data centres that collaboration and sharing of expertise is the key to improve security. We are endorsing SCI to provide a more secure environment for EGI users and researchers in general.&#8221;
Ian Bird, <a href="http://wlcg.web.cern.ch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WLCG</a> project leader:
&#8220;The SCI framework has played a key role in defining the collaborative security environment that we rely on in the WLCG. The expansion of this framework by WISE is an evolution that we welcome as we follow the increasing interdependence of infrastructures worldwide.&#8220;
