Description
Is the Grid providing new issues and challenges on
information security? Computational ressource theft is
occurring in lots of institutions and is nowadays causing
very limited liability issues, but much more obvious
performance issues. Grid computational ressource theft, if
occuring would cause tremendous liability issues, for the
ressource provider and the ressource requester. A high
implication on organisational, procedural as well as legal
and ethical aspects would be caused. The purpose of this
session is to provide a business analytical perspective of
the strengths, weaknesses, opportuntities and threats of
what could be some of the issues related to Grid security.
Indicate how Grid connected institutions would need to deal
with these issues. Demonstrate how malicious individuals or
organisations could make use of the Grid to deploy massive
cyber information attacks. Rather than take the common “head
in the sand” approach to world interconnected networks
problems, this session presents a proactive business,
technical and legal look at protecting Grid assets and Grid
ressources against cyberattackers. Putting things in
perspective by looking at the threats, delegates will be
presented with comprehensive ideas that offer defence before
disputes arise, and pragmatic advice on resolution if they do.
