Trusted CI Webinar Series

The purpose of the webinar series is to provide readily available cybersecurity services tailored to the NSF science community.

Webinars are presented live on the 4th Monday of the month (unless otherwise noted) at 11am Eastern time.

The webinars are recorded and will be linked to this page for later viewing. Each webinar includes time for questions from attendees. We use Zoom to conduct the webinars. Trusted CI Virtual Code of Conduct.
