The past two years have brought a lot of new computer-security deployments at CERN: 2-factor authentication, new spam filtering, email quarantining, anti-spoofing protection, 2FA protection for LXPLUS and the CERN Windows Terminal Servers, among others

One million terabytes of experimental data from the LHC have now been sent to the CERN storage system

Developed to handle the vast amounts of data of the LHC experiments, the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid has significantly marked the landscape of distributed computing

The past two years have brought a lot of new computer-security deployments at CERN. Some of these were not the most user-friendly for the CERN community, as this is not in the inherent nature of “security”, but we tried our best

Following the successful deployment of two-factor authentication (2FA) to more than 42 000 CERN accounts, one final step to ensure full compliance with the recommendations of the 2023 audit on CERN’s cybersecurity remains

The software managing CERN’s compute workload has handled a massive stress test, far beyond normal operating conditions, designed to simulate the needs of the future

We’ve seen in the past two Bulletins that control system cybersecurity is the black sheep of IT, a hard-to-change tanker’s course. Still, with significant daily damage of 250 000 USD for ALMA, the costs of falling to a cyberattack can no longer be ignored

While eagerly expected by experts, the first dominant incident on control systems reported by the media was the Stuxnet attack of 2010 against the Iranian nuclear programme allegedly conducted by some secret services

20 years ago, control systems used to be stand-alone systems, usually decoupled from the larger enterprise networks, using their own network cabling infrastructures and programming languages dedicated to control systems. But no more…

A new Voxxed Days event is coming to CERN on 10 February 2026, and there are many ways for you to participate
