Description
Large-scale high performance systems have significant amount of processing power. HP-SEE's HPC/Supercomputing infrastructure is geologically distributed, and provide 24/7, large scale, high performance computing services primarily for various high-end research communities thus such system can be categorized as critical regional/national infrastructure. System features such as non-stop availability, large scale processing power and community based usage make such infrastructure vulnerable against malicious attacks. In order to decrease the menace, we designed the Advanced Vulnerability Assessment Tool for HPC/supercomputing Systems. We propose the implementation of the tool that are integrated to the HP-SEE infrastructure. Our vulnerability assessment software can submit jobs into the HP-SEE infrastructure and run vulnerability assessment on the components of the infrastructure. The decentralized Security Monitor collects and stores the results from the components and makes them available via a web interface for the local/regional administrators. We tested our solution from reliability and from performance point of view as well.
