• Research Security Risks: Insider Threats

21 October 2024, 10:30 to 12:00 On Microsoft Teams 

Research security is generally understood as the measures taken to identify and protect the integrity of the system of international research collaboration from the actions of hostile actors who might seek to exploit or undermine it. The threats posed by hostile actors are varied, encompassing traditional academic engagement such as collaborative research, staff and student mobility, cyber security and personnel. This webinar will focus on Insider Threat or the ways in which hostile actors might seek to gain access to research through insiders who have knowledge of, or access to, an organisation’s infrastructure and information and could knowingly or inadvertently gain access to sensitive research or knowledge for illegitimate purposes.

• Resources for Managing Research Security Risks

This event will consolidate existing guidance to support research security, highlighting the availability of national guidelines developed in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and European Member States such as Denmark. Speakers will also hear from the G7 Academy, a repository developed by G7 members to support research security, and from research managers who have developed their own tools and resources using open source research to identify and mitigate research security risks.

• Products to Support Research Security Management

12 December 2024, 10:30 to 12:00 On Microsoft Teams

During this session, attendees will hear from users of commercially available software to support research security management. Users will describe solutions that support different aspects of research security management including workflow management, third party due diligence and research data analytics, providing an operational perspective on their use with an opportunity for Q&A.
