2. Main Achievements
DRAFT - not finished yet.
The work of the EGI CSIRT (TSA1.2), as ever, is split into several sub-groups, each of which is reported on here. The whole team continues to meet regularly by video conference and two or three times a year in a face to face meeting.
For the Incident Response Task Force (IRTF) two security incidents were handled during the quarter.
The IRTF continued to track new security vulnerabilities in operating systems and other non-Grid software, and chase sites who were vulnerable to previously announced problems.
SSC
Monitoring - Proposed Pakiti clients on services for Heartbleed. Argus monitoring probe developed. Preparing for monitoring training in CF 2014.
The Software Vulnerability Group (SVG) continues to handle reported vulnerabilities. This quarter 6 new vulnerabilities were reported, including the OpenSSL heartbleed vulnerability, which SVG was involved in alongside CSIRT. This was considered 'Critical'. The WN tarball was found to contain this vulnerability, and this was fixed promptly. SVG issued 4 advisories (partly as a result of resolution of vulnerabilities reported prior to this reporting quarter, and 2 CSIRT alerts were also issued (drafted by SVG). A further vulnerability was found in Torque and SVG members produced another new version in the 'SVG fixes' area of the AppDB area of the EGI UMD. https://appdb.egi.eu/store/software/software.vulnerability.group
SVG members have been involved in producing 2 questionnaires related to EGI Federated Cloud Security. One for technology providers, and one for Cloud Resource Providers. These questionnaires are aimed at ensuring that the emerging Cloud infrastructure is able to comply with EGI Security Policies, and provide a similar level of assurance concerning security as the EGI Infrastructure based on Grid Technology.

4. Plans for the next period
DRAFT - not finished yet.
monitoring - mechanism to evaluate results from Pakiti and Nagios to provide single result. Site wide pakiti and document rules and procedures.
SVG will continue the Vulnerability issue handling usual. SVG will invite some members of the EGI Federated Cloud task force to be members of the SVG. SVG along with CSIRT plans to finalize and get approval for the Cloud questionnaires.
The SVG leader also plans to lead the EGI Federated Cloud Security Threat Risk assessment. This should provide some indication of where the highest risk threats are concerning EGI Federated cloud security.
