The Computer Security Team
Computer Security: Software Bugs: What if?
Do you know what drugs and proprietary software have in common? You bear the consequences if the product you buy is of mediocre quality
Computer Security: Go clever! Go central!
Running your own computing hardware, installation stack, (web) applications, databases, etc., is just not cost effective and usually you won’t be able to commit the required attention to keeping those systems sufficiently secure
Computer Security: Browsing securely and privately
Browsing to the wrong webpage is the second major way of getting your laptop, your account and your data compromised
Computer Security vs Academic Freedom
The mandate of the CERN Computer Security Team is simple: to protect the reputation and operations of the Organization from cyber risks. But this simple sentence can quickly become complex: what is the risk?
Computer Security: I love you
While CERN has deployed sophisticated measures in an effort to block malicious e-mails before they even arrive in your inbox, not all of them are filtered out: there might still be some that you can read
Computer Security: Digital Broken Windows Theory
Let’s keep our Internet presence secure and professional! Let’s apply New York City methods!
Computer Security: A "file drop" for confidential data
Why not try CERN IT’s CERNbox service? It encrypts the transmission of documents during the sharing process, avoids the proliferation of copies by offering a single place to deposit a file, and allows revocation of access
Computer Security: Fatal dependencies
Are you a hacker? Programmer? Software developer? Coder? Many of us are. And, as intelligent humans, we tend to concentrate on the new and not try to reinvent the wheel
Computer Security: Negative legacy when moving on?
Before you embark on your future journey, take care of your digital legacy at CERN
Computer security: When "free" gets even more restrictive
Why "free" does not necessarily mean "free of charge" or, in the CERN context, why "free" software should not be used for professional or educational purposes
Computer Security: Fun Facts: Did you know?
Like any other organisation, institute or enterprise, CERN is under permanent attack by evildoers
Computer security: Meeting your family during the holiday season?
Help keep them secure. Discuss “security” with them. Tell them how to protect their digital life, their documents and data, their photos and videos
