The mission of the NCSA's Security Operations team is to support the central mission of the center by assuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its resources to its staff and researchers. In close collaboration with other NCSA groups, the Security Operations team helps protect our resources by focusing on assessing, detecting, and mitigating the risks to our network and computational systems. Through a defense in depth strategy, technology and applications are applied in areas to strengthen the centers overall security posture, as well as raising the conscientiousness of the users and staff with security awareness training and education.
