Scholarly Networks Security Initiative (SNSI)
Working together to combat the threat of cybercrime.
SNSI brings together publishers and institutions to solve cyber-challenges threatening the integrity of the scientific record, scholarly systems and the safety of institutional and personal data. Members include large and small publishers, learned societies and university presses and others involved in scholarly communications.
Cybersecurity isn’t just an issue for publishers. It isn’t just a challenge for librarians. It is not just an obstacle for institutions or nuisance for researchers. This is an issue for all of us, and a problem we firmly believe can be best addressed sustainably and effectively together. SNSI has been formed to help address this. Several librarians, representatives from leading organizations and other key stakeholders have kindly agreed to provide SNSI with independent advice and feedback on our program, which will be turned into tangible actions the group takes.
