11:30 → 11:35 Security

- The next round of Security Service Challenges start soon -- SSC5 involves one site from each Tier-2 (it is EGI wide). There is not expected to be any reason for job throughput to be affected and the challenge is partly about checking communication and community support. The sites selected are Glasgow, Lancaster and Cambridge. Awaiting LondonGrid "random" selection. -- SS4 will involve all sites. As preparation for both challenges site admins are encouraged to review the response procedures and other material here: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/security/ssc/index.html. This will ensure that you know what to do and remind you of conclusions (areas to improve) from previous challenges.
