The Trusted Data Working Group
Open science relies on data integrity, collaboration, high-performance computing, and scalable tools to achieve results, but currently lacks effective cybersecurity programs that address the trustworthiness of scientific data.
The Trusted Data Working Group (TDWG) is a collaboration between the four Big Data Hubs and Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, along with other partners. The goal of the working group is to understand scientific data security concerns and provide guidance on ensuring data trustworthiness.
Overview
The group formed in Fall 2019 and began its work in January 2020 with the design of a community survey to better understand scientific data security concerns and practices in the scientific research and cyberinfrastructure provider communities.
Participants
The working group received 111 detailed responses from a diverse collection of participants.
Outcomes
TDWG developed a best practices guidance document based on the survey responses and other research. View this and additional reports and presentations produced by the working group.
