TDR

Little is known about this other then we want to have a new version by the Lehman review, late summer or early fall I believe.

Cyber Security

Andy Kowalski from the Computer Center told us about plans for cyber-security in the 12 GeV era.

DOE and Mont have imposed strong restrictions concerning access to computers that control equipment in the halls.
Additional restrictions will be imposed for sensitive information, probably not relevant for us.
Login access to hall computers outside the hall itself from on- or off-site will have to be via two-factor authentication.
The preferred two-factor method is to use small portable devices that give you an additional one-time password.
Gateways can be used to serve read-only information to computers outside the halls with no special access restrictions.
Oscilloscopes and similar devices will live on special networks. They are easily broken into and are often used as "landing points" by attackers.
Wireless networks will be expanding to the outdoors in many areas.
Linux is not supported on internal laptops due to security concerns. Windows and Mac are ok. Thus Linux laptops must be on the guest network.
WPA2 Protected must be used for all wireless connections.
Windows tablets are ok on hall networks. IPADs are ok as well.
Android devices are totally banned from internal networks, guest only.
Users can deploy IPAD apps if desired, but problematic due to Apple policies.
New wireless phones will be appearing soon. They connect to wireless Ethernet and thus will work anywhere wireless is available.
CorporateTime is being replaced in the next few months with a much better integrated calendar/mail system.
