Since years, e-mail is one of the main attack vectors that organisations and individuals face. Malicious actors use e-mail messages to run phishing attacks, to distribute malware, and to send around various types of scams. While technical solutions exist to filter out most of such messages, no mechanism can guarantee 100% efficiency. E-mail recipients themselves are the next, crucial layer of...
This presentation delivers a holistic view of the current and future state of the DNS Load Balancing service at CERN. CERN runs this service to provide the necessary tools for managing the nodes that aliases should present. The service contains three main components:
1.An administrative interface, where users can define aliases and their policies.
2.A client that runs on the nodes to assess...
NOTED is a project that aims to better exploit WAN bandwidth needed by FTS data transfers.
The main component is the Transfer Broker, which interpreters information coming from FTS to identify large data transfer which could benefit of network optimization. The Transfer Broker then enriches the FTS transfers with network information coming from CRIC, the resource database used by ATLAS and...
