DESCRIPTION:Remi Mollon studied computer security at University and he fir
 st worked on Grids\, with the EGEE project\, for a French Bioinformatics i
 nstitute. Information security being crucial in that field\, he developed 
 an encrypted file management system on top of Grid middleware\, and he con
 tributed in integrating legacy applications with Grids. Then\, he was hire
 d by CERN as a Grid Data Management developer\, and he joined the Grid Ope
 rational Security Coordination Team. Remi has now moved to CERN Computer S
 ecurity Team. Remi is involved in the daily security operations\, in addit
 ion to be responsible to design Team's computer infrastructure\, and to pa
 rticipate to several projects\, like multi-factor authentication at CERN.\
 n\nWith the prevalence of modern information technologies and its increasi
 ng integration into our daily live\, digital systems become more and more 
 playground for evil people. While in the past\, attacks were driven by fam
 e&    kudos\, nowadays money is the motivating factor. Just the recent mon
 ths have shown several successful attacks against e.g. Sony\, PBS\, UNESCO
 \, RSAsecurity\, Citibank\, and others. Credit card information of hundred
 s of thousands of people got exposed. Affected companies not only lost the
 ir assets and data\, also their reputation has suffered. Thus\, proper com
 puter security measures are essential. Without question\, security must ev
 en more become an inherent ingredient when developing\, deploying\, and op
 erating applications\, web sites\, and computing services.  \nThese lectur
 es shall give an overview of general computer and information security\, s
 ubsequently focus on the problems of creating secure applications and comp
 uter services\, highlight the importance of security operations (i.e. prev
 ention\, protection\, detection and response)\, delve into the specifies o
 f securing the critical infrastructure and their digital control systems a
 s well as securing cloud and distributed computing\, and discuss the impac
 t of so-called Web 2.0 technologies to security and privacy.\n\nhttp://ind
