SUMMARY:HPC Security: Why the Time is Now?
DESCRIPTION:Albert Reuther and Andrew Prout (Massachusetts Institute of Te
 chnology (MIT), Lincoln Laboratory)\n\nSupercomputing has been a disciplin
 e for at least four decades, but why has HPC security become such a hot to
 pic the past several years? Just seven years ago the first HPC security pa
 pers were accepted and presented at SC17, yet efforts at NIST and elsewher
 e gained little traction. In this talk we explore some of the reasons why 
 security of HPC systems has received so much more attention recently. We w
 ill discuss the expansion of scientific computing into new disciplines, ch
 anges in enterprise cybersecurity policy driving scientific computing away
  from general purpose devices to dedicated research computing assets, and 
 the expansion of big data beyond what can be supported by single researche
 r workstations. We will also discuss how this expansion has increased the 
 variety of codebases, languages, computational frameworks, and parallel co
 mputing models bringing new security challenges with them to the HPC space
 . We will explore why HPC is increasingly becoming a target due to its att
 ractiveness to cybercriminals for cryptocurrency mining, the fact HPC cent
 ers host an increasing volume of non-public data, and how insider threat c
 oncerns are changing with the expanded userbase. Finally we will look at w
 hy HPC security is different than enterprise security, discussing why exis
 ting security research and common practices are not automatically usable f
 or HPC operators, and how the feedback and incentive loop for vendors is b
 roken.\n\nTag: Applications and Application Frameworks, Artificial Intelli
