Cybersecurity and privacy (CS&P) threats increasingly impact our daily lives, our national infrastructures and our industry. Recent newsworthy attacks targeted nationally important infrastructure, government systems, researchers, and research facilities. The landscape of what needs to be protected and from what threat evolves: new technologies are released and the threat actors improve their own capabilities through experience and close collaboration. Meanwhile, defenders work often in isolation, using private data and facilities, and producing defenses that are quickly outpaced by new threats. To transform CS&P research into a highly integrated, community-wide effort, CS&P researchers need a common, rich, representative research infrastructure, which meets the needs across all members of the community, and facilitates reproducible science.The SPHERE research infrastructure will offer a novel mix of experimentation capabilities, uniquely tailored to the needs of CS&P researchers and educators. SPHERE’s novel offering of diverse, rich hardware infrastructure, configurable network substrate and safe network policies will support novel CS&P research in emerging areas, such as IoT, cyber-physical systems, programmable networks, edge computing, Internet measurement and human-centric CS&P. SPHERE’s novel user portals will democratize access to CS&P research, and will facilitate practical CS&P education of broad student populations. SPHERE’s novel support for representative experimentation and reproducibility, tight collaboration with researchers and close alliances with artifact evaluation committees, will enable vertical progress in the science of CS&P. The SPHERE research infrastructure will transform CS&P research, from piecemeal and opportunistic to highly integrated, by unifying the community’s experimentation efforts on a common, rich, highly usable infrastructure. Integrated research efforts will increase the pace of innovation and improve the success and sophistication of CS&P research products. Thus, SPHERE will significantly advance scientific discovery and the Nation’s research capabilities in CS&P.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

网络安全和隐私（CS＆P）威胁越来越多地影响我们的日常生活，国家基础设施和我们的行业。最近的新闻价值攻击针对国家重要的基础设施，政府系统，研究人员和研究设施。需要保护的东西的景观以及从什么威胁发展中：新技术发布，威胁参与者通过经验和紧密的协作提高了自己的能力。同时，防守者经常使用私人数据和设施孤立地工作，并产生迅速被新威胁所超越的防御能力。为了将CS＆P研究转变为一项高度融合的社区范围的努力，CS＆P研究人员需要一种共同的，丰富的，代表性的研究基础设施，满足社区所有成员的需求，以及设施可重复的科学。领域研究基础设施将提供实验能力的新颖功能，可为CS＆Persecors of CS＆Perchansers and Pressers and Pressers and Css＆Perdecors and temipaliqualsions提供。 Sphere对潜水员，丰富的硬件基础设施，可配置的网络基材和安全网络政策的新颖产品将支持新兴领域的新型CS＆P研究，例如物联网，网络物理系统，可编程网络，边缘计算，Internet测量，Internet测量和以人为本的CS＆P。 Sphere的新型用户门户将民主化对CS＆P研究的访问，并将促进广泛学生人群的实际CS＆P教育。 Sphere对代表实验和繁殖，与研究人员的紧密合作以及与人工制品评估承诺结盟的新颖支持将使CS＆P科学的垂直进步。 Sphere研究基础设施将通过统一社区对共同，丰富，高度可用的基础架构的实验工作来改变CS＆P研究。综合研究工作将增加创新的空间，并改善CS＆P研究产品的成功和复杂性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
