Description

A ransomware attack disrupted HZB and BESSY II operations, prompting a
complete network infrastructure rebuild. The recovery task force
utilized standardized Ansible playbooks for rapid deployment, resulting
in a modernized science data acquisition network with improved
configurations managed through version-controlled GitLab repositories
for enhanced tracking and maintenance.
