SAFER is an operational security trust group focused on fighting computer misuse and defending the academic, research, and education mission as a global community.
It intends not to replace but rather complement and augment the capabilities of the national trust groups already protecting R&E organisations by providing a persistent structure ready for a call to action when the next major international incident occurs.
It aims to overcome existing obstacles in order to provide a systematic, comprehensive, enduring, and truly global incident response and threat intelligence sharing capabilities for the R&E sector as a whole.
