Case Study 1 – A High Performance Computing Cluster Under Attack: The Titan Incident

Questions:

  1. Who are the major stakeholders associated with Nordic Data Grid Facility (NDGF) and UniNETT?  What critical resources are stored within the system and what concerns might stakeholders have regarding the resources?
  2. How did employees, information security (infosec) processes, and infosec tools inadvertently help the attacker succeed in breaking into Titan?
  3. What should Margrete Raaum do now? Would you suggest that Titan is ready to be turned on for local access? Is it ready to be reconnected to the computational grid?

Upload your answers to the case study questions as a PDF file to Canvas no later than Sunday (1/30) at midnight.

Your written answers to the questions should not exceed one single-spaced page using 11 point Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. Be sure to include each question (including number) along with the answers in your document. Do not prepare a separate cover page, instead put your name, the class number (MIS5214), and the case name in the top-left corner of the header.

Follow the instructions in the syllabus for the file naming conventions for your deliverable.
