The panel addresses the escalating intensity and frequency of cyberattacks on information systems and services and how these threats have highlighted the essential role of archives, repositories, and scholarly communications in supporting research and education cyberinfrastructure. Panelists discuss the complex and evolving threat landscape, the value of documenting and communicating the impacts and costs of breaches, and collective actions to strengthen resilience and security.

All meeting videos will be openly available on the CNI website (https://www.cni.org/mm/spring-2025), YouTube , and Vimeo channels in the coming weeks. We will make a formal announcement once all meeting materials, including slide decks, are posted.
