Computer networks are undergoing a phenomenal growth, driven by the rapidly increasing number of nodes constituting the networks. At the same time, the number of security threats on Internet and intranet networks is constantly increasing, and the testing and experimentation of cyber defense solutions require the availability of separate, test environments that best reflect the complexity of a real system. Such environments support the deployment and monitoring of complex mission-driven network scenarios, and cyber security training activities, thus enabling enterprises to study cyber defense strategies and allowing security researchers to evaluate their algorithms at scale.
The main objective is delivering to researchers and practitioners an overview of the technological means and the practical steps to setup a private cloud platform based on OpenNebula for the creation and management of virtual environments that support cyber-security activities of training and testing, as well as an overview of its possible applications in the cyber security domain.
In particular:
1. We describe our infrastructure based on OpenNebula
2. We overview our application, sitting on top of OpenNebula, as well as the technological tools involved in the management of its lifecycle (e.g., Ansible) .
3. We show how the platform can support various examples of security research activities

Comparing IaaS: VMware vs OpenStack vs Google’s GanetiGiuseppe Paterno'
No matter if you are a lonely system administrator or the CTO of the largest carrier in the World, getting to know what’s out there is a jungle. Is VMware still the lead? I’ve heard about OpenStack, how mature is that? And what this “Ganeti” I’ve never heard of?
Well, here I am. Guess what, you’re not the only one asking these questions. I traveled most of Europe hearing world’s most famous enterprises, banks and telcos and also in contact with many vendors’ labs, from San Francisco to Munich.
In this presentation I just wish to give a quick overview of the state-of-the-art in the IaaS and virtualization world. This is not a sales or marketing presentation: no vaporware, just pure and real experience from the field.

OpenNebulaConf2018 - UCLouvain Case Study: VDI for 37,000 students with OpenN...OpenNebula Project
The Université Catholique de Louvain has been using OpenNebula in IT academic environment for several years. We were so satisfied that when we decided to implement VDI we looked for a connection broker compatible with this cloud orchestrator.
Thanks to OpenNebula + UDS Enterprise VDI joint solution, we will soon be able to give our 37,000 students access to virtual classrooms as if they were in the standard computer classrooms, so that they could access the same software from anywhere, anytime and using any device. The first tests with the solution have been very successful and we are now looking at expanding it to the whole university.
In this session we will detail how the VDI infrastructure was built, the different components used and their role in the platform and how the IT staff deploys and manages the virtual desktops. We'll also explain how in the near future we will extend the use of OpenNebula to remote applications.

New Threats, New Approaches in Modern Data CentersIben Rodriguez
New Threats, New Approaches in Modern Data Centers - A Presentation by NPS at CENIC conference 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, Wednesday, March 22, 2017 – in San Diego, California
The standard approach to securing data centers has historically emphasized strong perimeter protection to keep threats on the outside of the network. However, this model is ineffective for handling new types of threats—including advanced persistent threats, insider threats, and coordinated attacks. A better model for data center security is needed: one that assumes threats can be anywhere and probably are everywhere and then, through automation, acts accordingly. Using micro-segmentation, fine-grained network controls enable unit-level trust, and flexible security policies can be applied all the way down to a network interface. In this joint presentation between customer, partner, and VMware, the fundamental tenants of micro-segmentation will be discussed. Presenters will describe how the Naval Postgraduate School has incorporated these principles into the architecture and design of a multi-tenant Cybersecurity Lab environment to deliver security training to national and international government personnel.

Regardless if you are from a large organisation or from a small start-up, a seasoned DevOps professiyou will walk away with foundational knowledge and actionable insights, ready to implement stronger security measures in their Kubernetes deployments. Whether you're a seasoned DevOps professional or new to the cloud native arena, this talk will enhance your understanding of Kubernetes security, ensuring you're prepared for the evolving landscape of cloud native security.
OWASP Québec: Threat Modeling Toolkit - Jonathan MarcilJonathan Marcil
Threat Modeling is a great way to analyze security early in software development by structuring possible attacks, bad actors and countermeasures over a broad view of the targeted system. This talk will describe basic components of a threat model and how to use them effectively. Threat Intelligence is where you gather knowledge about the environment and business assets to determine what are the actual threats. But how do you reconcile that with the current architecture in a useful manner? The toolkit presented in this talk will enable you to systematically structure related information using graphical notations such as flow diagram and attack tree. In case you are wondering where to start in your organization, a quick lightweight risk rating methodology will also be proposed. And in the end, you’ll see how we can all tie those together and get threat modeling to a point where it’s an efficient application security activity for communication. Doing this will prevent security reviews from missing important things even when chaos prevails during the realization of a project. Modeling concepts will be demonstrated with an actual IoT device used as example.

The following resources come from the 2009/10 BSc in Computer and Network Technologies (course number 2ELE0072) from the University of Hertfordshire. All the mini projects are designed as level two modules of the undergraduate programmes.
The objectives of this project are to demonstrate by building a virtual local area network environment:
• Installation and configuration of virtual network/server operating systems (virtual)
• Installation and configuration of virtual workstations (operating systems)
• Ensure a suitable level of security and access control exists for the virtual network.
• Ensure that the network can be easily managed.
This project entails using a virtual network to demonstrate a typical setup for a networked office environment. Students are expected to be able to perform simple installation of workstation and server operating systems. Students are required to investigate important management tools on a server operating system and to configure these tools to simplify management of the network. The network environment should have a suitable level of security and access control.

We've made our way into the world of open cloud — where each organization can find the right cloud for its unique needs. A single cloud management platform cannot be all things to all people. There will be a cloud space with several offerings focused on different environments and/or industries. The OpenNebula commitment to the open cloud is at the very base of its mission — to become the simplest cloud enabling platform — and its purpose — to bring simplicity to the private and hybrid enterprise cloud. OpenNebula exists to help companies build simple, cost-effective, reliable, open enterprise clouds on existing IT infrastructure. The OpenNebula Conference will be a great opportunity to communicate and share our vision and commitment, to look back at how the project has grown in the last 9 years, and to shed some insight into what to expect from the project in the near future.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?
