An Introduction to the Evolving Federal Research Cybersecurity Landscape and What It Means for University IT Teams (BTAA)

Date

Federal requirements around research cybersecurity are growing quickly, and university IT teams are increasingly the ones expected to put them into practice. This session offered a plain-language introduction to that landscape: what the new requirements are trying to accomplish, where things stand today, and why work that used to live in research compliance offices is showing up in the systems IT teams build and support every day. The conversation paired a national policy perspective from EDUCAUSE with practical resources from the research security community, plus a look at how IT, security, and research offices can partner effectively.
