As more institutions leverage grants around big data, many organizations are creating Science DMZs to enable this research. We want to help shift the discussion away from the common misconception that a Science DMZ means you are bypassing campus security and leaving your data unprotected. We are hoping to pull together people to develop some best practices around security to form a consensus around methods for securing a Science DMZ that schools can implement and take to research administration, auditors, risk officers, and security officers to help allay fears to encourage adoption.OUTCOME: Learn that other campuses are interested in securing the Science DMZ and integrating it into a campus's security program
