VERITAS, led by Anita Nikolich at Illinois, won a three-year $896,000 NSF Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure grant. Its most concrete output is a staff role piloted at NCSA: an engineer who reviews projects pre-deployment, scans for malicious behavior, checks software vulnerabilities and explicitly evaluates how much autonomy an agent has been granted. The project also standardizes model cards and dataset datasheets and builds training that teaches students to spot poisoned data and assess agent permissions. Red-teaming practice arriving in scientific research computing, with a title attached. (Help Net Security)
