Security at the Cyber Border: Exploring Cybersecurity for International Research Network Connections

Abstract

International research network connections are unusual in the operation of network connections that cross the U.S. border. This places these networks in a position to see traffic crossing national boundaries, between customers under different cultural and legal frameworks.

This report represents the output of the "Security at the Cyber-Border" workshop to (1) capture and articulate technical and policy cybersecurity considerations related to international research network connections, and (2) capture opportunities and challenges for the those connections to foster cybersecurity research.
