About this webinar

The research security environment is shifting rapidly under federal mandates like NSPM-33 and international frameworks such as Canada’s STRAC. To protect taxpayer-funded innovation without stifling global collaboration, institutions must move beyond reactive compliance. A data-driven approach is now essential to identify complex ownership structures and high-risk affiliations that are often hidden in open-source data.

Join experts from Carnegie Mellon University, Kharon, and Digital Science for an inside look at how universities can transform their research security program. We will explore how pairing transparent risk data with researcher-level analytics enables institutions to make informed, defensible decisions in an increasingly scrutinized landscape.

We will cover:

  • Navigating policy drivers: Insights into the regulatory pressures and institutional risks—such as those from NSPM-33—that are forcing a shift in research security.

  • A university perspective: A firsthand look at how universities can evolve from legacy manual reviews to a modernized, tech-enabled research security workflow.

  • The Kharon impact: How universities can integrate high-fidelity risk data to conduct rigorous due diligence and solve complex operational challenges.

  • Future-Proofing Collaboration: Strategic lessons on using data and technology to strengthen institutional integrity while maintaining global research partnerships
