DESCRIPTION:Description: HPC environments are shared\, multi-tenant system
 s where hundreds of users run jobs side by side on the same physical infra
 structure. This creates a unique security landscape: the cluster administr
 ators must isolate users from each other and from the underlying system\, 
 while users themselves are responsible for protecting their data\, credent
 ials\, and workloads as they move through the pipeline. This workshop walk
 s through HPC security end to end: what the infrastructure team does to ke
 ep the cluster safe\, what you as a user can (and should) do to protect yo
 ur own work\, and how to secure the containers you bring onto the system.\
 nScope and Topics:\nPart 1 - Infrastructure Security (13:00 - 13:30)How th
 e HPC platform itself is hardened\, largely invisible to the end user but 
 foundational to everything else: process and resource isolation\, storage 
 isolation\, network security\, IAM\, auditing\, scheduler-level security\,
  etc.\nPart 2 — What You Can Do as a User (13:40 - 14:10)Best practices\
 , Slurm and system features users control to protect their own jobs and da
 ta\, such as exclusive mode\, secure data transfers and data management\, 
 encryption\, revoking sessions and keys\, cleaning the data from the compu
 te node\, etc.\nPart 3 - Container Security (14:20 - 14:50)Because contain
 ers are the primary way users package and run software on HPC\, they deser
 ve their own layer of scrutiny: image signing\, signature verification\, v
 ulnerability scanning\, SBOMs\, dealing with sensitive data\, registries a
 nd other security controls.\nDifficulty: Beginner - Intermediate\nLanguage
 : English\nDate and time:  08. 10. 2026 at 13.00 \nMax. number of parti
 cipants: 30\nVirtual location: ZOOM\nPrerequisite knowledge: Having a ba
 sic knowledge of Linux is expected. Users should already have basic unders
 tanding of  HPC systems.\nTarget audience: Industry\, Academia\, Public 
 sector\nAfter the workshop\, participants will understand:\n•    The s
 hared responsibility model between HPC infrastructure teams and end users 
 when it comes to security.•    The mechanisms HPC centres use to isola
 te users\, jobs\, and data from one another at the OS\, network\, and sche
 duler level.•    The practical steps users should take to protect thei
 r own data and workloads while working on a shared system.•    How to 
 secure the full lifecycle of a container\, from build to signing\, to scan
 ning\, to runtime\, before and while using it on HPC.Register here: Secure
