Conveners
Security operations workshop
- David Kelsey (STFC)
Description
The aim of the EGI CSIRT is to prevent Security Incidents happening as these have the potential to have a high impact on both the reputation of EGI and also on the integrity and availability of the provided services. When security incidents do still happen, as they frequently do, we have to deal with these in an efficient manner with the aim of quickly fixing problems while keeping services operational. Many other infrastructures are also working in similar areas and today we already collaborate with these security teams.
Providing operational security for developing Infrastructures implementing new technologies is a constant challenge since the existing operational security frameworks and tool sets need to be extended to cover new methods of accessing and using the Infrastructure.
This workshop will consider the changes and improvements to make the EGI CSIRT more efficient and more sustainable for the future. We will consider how the collaboration on security with the existing e-infrastructures can be further developed, in terms of best practices, standards, and further collaboration on policies and procedures.
The session is not only very relevant to EGI, but also to the security practitioners from federated Research Infrastructures and e-Infrastructures that do/will interoperate with EGI.
