"I too enjoy Edge events and hearing from speakers who come from different places and bring unique experiences and perspectives. I also help chair Edge’s Security Community of Practice and I like how it brings together security practitioners from the whole Edge community. This collaborative group talks about issues, security events, and we share indicators of compromise or things to look for to help block IP addresses. Together we are bringing attention to the importance of cybersecurity and risk management and how a proactive security strategy is essential at each and every organization."

“Regional research and education networks play an important role in enabling these collaborative partnerships and providing essential infrastructure that institutions need to advance their research initiatives. There is an increasing need for team science where facilities are aligned with the compute infrastructure and the regional and national networks. This allows us to do a better job creating an environment for teams to effectively work and collaborate and fill that missing middle where data intensive research happens.”
