Cybersecurity: Authoritative Reports and Resources, by Topic [Why We Need Librarians]

Cybersecurity: Authoritative Reports and Resources, by Topic by Rita Tehan, Information Specialist (Congressional Research Service).

From the summary:

This report provides references to analytical reports on cybersecurity from CRS, other government agencies, trade associations, and interest groups. The reports and related websites are grouped under the following cybersecurity topics:

  • Policy overview
  • National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC)
  • Cloud computing and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)
  • Critical infrastructure
  • Cybercrime, data breaches, and data security
  • National security, cyber espionage, and cyberwar (including Stuxnet)
  • International efforts
  • Education/training/workforce
  • Research and development (R&D)
    • In addition, the report lists selected cybersecurity-related websites for congressional and government agencies; news; international organizations; and other organizations, associations, and institutions.

Great report on cybersecurity resources!

As well as a killer demo for why we need librarians, now more than ever.

Here’s the demo. Print and show the coverpage of the report to a library doubter.

Let them pick a category from the table of contents and then you count the number of federal government resources in the report. Give them a week to duplicate the contents of the section they have chosen. 😉

Anyone, including your colleagues, can find something relevant on the WWW. The question is whether they can find all the good stuff.

(Sorry, librarians and search experts are no eligible for this challenge.)

I first saw this in Gary Price’s The Research Desk.
