EGEE-II INFSO-RI Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE Security Coordination Group Dr Linda Cornwall CCLRC (RAL) FP6 Security workshop at NEC, Sankt Augustin, Germany, 8-9 th June 2006
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI EGEE Security Coordination Group, June 8-9, SCG mandate The Security Coordination Group (SCG) is responsible for ensuring the overall EGEE security coordination, including -architecture, -operations, -deployment, -standardisation and -cross-project collaboration. The goal is to ensure the relationship between the various security related work items inside EGEE do not -adversely overlap (leading to duplication of effort) or -leave gaps that could be exploited.

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI EGEE Security Coordination Group, June 8-9, Current SCG activity -In parallel with the overall SCG work, the SCG is to coordinate a new security auditing activity This activity will monitor both operations and middleware for security issues and report periodically on status and progress of the issues identified -The security audit will coordinate with the work done by the Grid Security Vulnerability Group -In addtion to the ongoing collaborations (see table below) we have industrial partners installing gLite internally, applying internal security audits reporting back to EGEE. E.g. CNAF (French Space Agency). -Current status: agreed plan due end on June; ongoing discussions with partners ActivityPartner Security audits, tools, policy documents review BARC - India Ethical hacking auditsPriceWaterhouseCoopers - Switzerland Additional input on middleware security, policy and organization Non-EGEE members in the joint security groups (MWSG, JSPG - mainly OSG input) Security Service Challenges testing the ability to operationally respond to incidents EGEE: Pal Anderssen (SA1) is coordinating the Security Service Challenges
