Transcript of CTSC+SWAMP: cybersecurity resources for your campus
Why Cybersecurity Matters: Trusted & Reproducible Science
Center for Trustworthy Scientific Cyberinfrastructure:The NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence● Mission: Provide the NSF community a coherent understanding of cybersecurity’s
role in producing trustworthy science and the information and know-how
required to achieve and maintain effective cybersecurity programs.
● Building Community: annual NSF Cybersecurity Summit, monthly webinars,
blog, email lists, partnerships, benchmarking surveys
● Sharing Knowledge: alerts, guides, templates, best practices, training
● Collaborative Engagements: tackling cybersecurity challenges for science projects
DHS Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP)● A no-cost resource to promote a more stable and secure software ecosystem
● 30 static analysis tools to check your code for weaknesses
● View results from multiple tools in one place, to identify and address the most
important problems in your code
● Continuous Assurance: assess your code throughout the development lifecycle
Miron Livny, MIR Jim Basney, NCSA Bart Miller, UW Von Welch, IU
SWAMP-in-a-Box● An open source software distribution for
establishing a Continuous Assurance facility
on your campus
● Operate your own local SWAMP on your
hardware behind your firewall
● Includes plugins for Eclipse & Jenkins
● Connect with your local AD/LDAP accounts
or use CILogon/InCommon
● Try mir-swamp.org then install your own
https://github.com/mirswamp/deployment
Software Assurance in the Classroom● Teaching secure coding practices to undergraduates and graduate students
● Students use mir-swamp.org to analyize and improve their code
● Partnership with Prof. Lethia Jackson at Bowie State University in Maryland

Software Assurance for Scientific Cyberinfrastructure● Software is critical to science and
"must be reliable, robust, and secure"
(https://www.nsf.gov/cif21)
● Software Assurance is an important CTSC
thrust (training, engagements, best practice
guides, situational awareness)
● SWAMP is an important resource for
CTSC (e.g., engagements with perfSONAR,
SciGaP, OSG/HTCondor)
https://trustedci.org/software-assurance/
Cybersecurity Training for Scientists & CI Professionals● Secure Coding Practices and Automated Assessment Tools (e.g., SWAMP)
● Secure Software Engineering Practices
● Developing Cybersecurity Programs for Science Projects
● Incident Response and Log Analysis
● Federated Identity Management for Research Organizations
https://trustedci.org/onlinetraining/ https://trustedci.org/trainingmaterials/
Operating Secure Scientific Facilities● CTSC engagements with NSF Large
Facilities: DKIST, Gemini, IceCube,
LIGO, LSST, LTER, NEON, OOI
● NSF Large Facilities Security Working
Group (established January 2017)
● Annual NSF Cybersecurity Summit
(August 15-17 2017 in Arlington, VA)
● Open Science Cyber Risk Profile
(https://trustedci.org/oscrp/)
● CTSC partnership with REN-ISAC for
situational awareness
Cybersecurity for Science Gateways● CTSC partnership with Science Gateway
Community Institute (SGCI): cybersecurity
education for gateway developers and operators
● CTSC engagement with SciGaP
(https://trustedci.org/scigap/)
