REN-ISAC and CSI2—The Security Event System

The REN-ISAC in partnership with the Internet2 SALSA CSI2 Working Group has identified clear benefit in the sharing and correlation of security event data among institutions and organizations participating in a trusted information sharing community. Correlation on a large base of data from across a community would identify sources, characteristics, and trends of threat. Data sharing, conducted in real time, in standard automated formats, would provide protection from identified and emerging threats. Development of a security event system (SES) is proposed to meet these objectives.
