2. Main Achievements

DRAFT - NOT COMPLETED

During the next quarter, the EGI CSIRT team will continue to work on all if its current activities in the same sub-groups. Apart from the usual ongoing regular operational duties, the following items are mentioned.

For IRTF, planning will continue for incident handling beyond the end of EGI-InSPIRE. A joint meeting between EGI CSIRT and security staff from PRACE and EUDAT is planned for October. Future cooperation on security operations will be one of the topics to be discussed there.

For the Security Drills team, the German NGI SSC will be performed. Training will be given at the EGI Technical Forum to help other NGIs prepare for and operate their own SSC.

For the monitoring team, further testing of site-wide monitoring will be performed, working towards a full-blown proposal to EGI for deployment. Work will continue on Pakiti to support this. Collaboration with the dashboard developers will work towards the provision of better reports on security issues to sites, operations and management.

The SVG will consider how to improve distribution/version handling and tracking. Revision of the vulnerability issue handling document will take place now that the post-EMI/IGE situation is clearer, and will take account of other changes that are happening. The SVG will act on the reports on the WMS and CREAM security assessments when these become available.

The Emergency Suspension document will be finalised and OMB approval will be sought. First implementation of the suspension ARGUS system will either be deployed and tested or planned for the following quarter.

Members of the team will attend the EGI Technical Forum in Madrid to give various security training courses and to present at and run the planned EGI security sessions. Plans will be made for future training and dissemination.

Work will continue on forming a better understanding of the requirements for security in federated clouds, taking forward a suitable use case and deployment of monitoring and logging in the virtualised environment.
