Greetings,

 

Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening and coming up soon. We hope to see and/or hear from you soon!

 

You can check out some of the events we’ve got coming up below. In addition, we have two great opportunities for you share your input:

 

1. Get in on the Discussion about the future of InCommon. Last month, we kicked off InCommon Futures2, a strategic planning project being

undertaken by the InCommon Steering Committee to help guide a vibrant future for InCommon and explore the identity and access management

(IAM) challenges facing the research and higher ed community. Complete this form to let us know your initial thoughts about the project and how

           you might like to be involved.

 

2. Provide Input for InCommon’s Second Annual Cybersecurity Exercise. How can we help your team enhance its knowledge and use of the Sirtfi

framework, so you’re prepared to cooperate when a cybersecurity incident spans multiple organizations in the research and education community?

That’s the main question on the minds of the members of Sirtfi Exercise Planning Working Group (SEPWG) as they begin to plan for InCommon’s

second annual cybersecurity exercise in November 2023. Please take just five minutes to give them some answers by completing their survey,

which will be open until July 30, 2023.
