Introduction


This page provides steps to certify Resource Centre from security point of view, as part of PROC09 Resource Centre Registration and Certification procedure. The monitoring is performed using the tools used by the EGI CSIRT and enabled upon request of Resource Centre.

This step of the security certification procedure checks that the resources under certification do not contain known CRITICAL software vulnerabilities.

Make sure that the site is up to date with regard to security patches. In case of re-certification due to suspension following a critical vulnerability, make sure that the recommendations in the corresponding EGI SVG advisory have been followed.

2 RC

Follow instructions on Pakiti client wiki: install and run the pakiti client on a random Worker Node. In case of re-certification due to suspension following a critical vulnerability, run Pakiti on the affected node(s).
