Security coordination is part of the EGI.eu coordination function.
Introduction
Security is recognised as an important aspect of e-Infrastructures and requires co-ordination between the EGI participants at various levels, in particular for the prevention and handling of incidents.
Technical description
This service includes the following components.
Security Operations Coordination
Central coordination of the security activities ensures that policies, operational security, and maintenance are compatible amongst all partners, improving availability and lowering access barriers for use of the infrastructure. This coordination ensures that incidents are promptly and efficiently handled, that common policies are followed by providing services such as security monitoring, and by training and dissemination with the goal of improving the response to incidents. This includes liaison with external security organisations, coordination security training, of security service challenges and of security threat risk assessment.
Security Policy Coordination
Security policy development covers diverse aspects, including operational policies (agreements on vulnerability management, intrusion detection and prevention, regulation of access, and enforcement), incident response policies (governing the exchange of information and expected actions), participant responsibilities (including acceptable use policies, identifying users and managing user communities), traceability, legal aspects, and the protection of personal data.
Security Incident Response Coordination
Coordination of incident response activities in collaboration with the Incident Response Task Force.
Software Vulnerability Group Coordination
The Software Vulnerability Group aims to eliminate existing software vulnerabilities from the deployed infrastructure and prevent the introduction of new ones, and runs a process for handling software vulnerabilities reported.
International Grid Trust Federation (IGTF) and EUGridPMA
A common authentication trust domain is required to persistently identify all EGI participants. This task is about the representation of EGI in IGTF and EUGridPMA. This representation will bring operational and policy needs of EGI to the attention of the PMA, bring issues raised by the PMA to the attention of the appropriate groups within EGI, and keep the EGI Council informed of progress and policies of the EUGridPMA. This task is also responsible for the coordination of the provision of EGI versions of the IGTF Certification Authority distributions as required by the EGI Council.
