The White House is mandating enhanced cybersecurity protocols for R&D institutions, including higher education amid growing threats. Federal research agencies must certify that institutions' security programs meet specific requirements, including foreign travel and research security training. This initiative, led by OSTP Director Arati Prabhakar, aims to safeguard national R&D while ensuring equality. Learn more about these new requirements in Caroline N.’s article for FedScoop: https://lnkd.in/e4GgCVd8
