Description
The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI, http://egi.eu/) is a distributed
environment, spanning roughly 270,000 logical CPUs, 140 PB of disk, and 130 PB
of tape storage at 352 sites in 54 countries. More than 20,000 users,
organised in more than 200 virtual organisations, from all over the world are
currently running approximately 1.4 million jobs per day using this
infrastructure.
This presentation will cover the many challenging tasks of maintaining
operational security within the EGI infrastructure. The activities of the EGI
CSIRT include detailed monitoring of the sites and measurement of their
incident response capability, as exercised through large-scale security
drills, closely simulating real-world incidents. The results of these
simulations stimulated the set up of a forensics training frame work for
cluster administrators and also addresses the particularities of grid
technology.
The interactions with other national and infrastructure CSIRTs will also be
presented.
