In CERN’s academic environment, cutting-edge research relies on an open yet to-be-protected digital ecosystem

In mid-November, CERN was subjected to another phishing attack that tried to lure people to open a malicious link and provide their CERN credentials on a fake CERN Single Sign-On page

2026 will bring improved and more granular network filtering to the Technical Network (TN) and, later, between the Campus and data centre networks, introducing a pair of redundant firewalls for each

We already discussed mandatory requirements for IT service managers in a past issue of the Bulletin. This time we present upcoming changes to passwords and improvements to two-factor authentication

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
