The THREAT-ARREST Cyber-Security Training Platform

Cyber security is always a main concern for critical infrastructures and nation-wide safety and sustainability. Thus, advanced cyber ranges and security training is becoming imperative for the involved organizations. This paper presets a cyber security training platform, called THREAT-ARREST. The various platform modules can analyze an organization’s system, identify the most critical threats, and tailor a training program to its personnel needs. Then, different training programmes are created based on the trainee types (i.e. administrator, simple operator, etc.), providing several teaching procedures and accomplishing diverse learning goals. One of the main novelties of THREAT-ARREST is the modelling of these programmes along with the runtime monitoring, management, and evaluation operations. The platform is generic. Nevertheless, its applicability in a smart energy case study is detailed

Storage Area Networks (SANs) in Business Environment

Storage Area Networks (SAN) in Business Environment is titled and initiated to design and implement Storage Area Networks architecture in the business operation. The project is divided into two terms, first is the research ofStorage Area Networks and the second is system development onthe Storage Area Networks Knowledge Management System. Research on the Storage Area Networks was based on the problem statement and objective of the project while the Storage Area Networks Knowledge Management System is the system in making decision to implement Storage Area Networks. The project will require a hybrid model for System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology. Reviews on the system will be made according to the SDLC and the objectives of the project. Artificial Intelligent module is used for the Storage Area Networks system to determine the best Storage Area Networks solution for the business. Research will be more onthe implementation of the Storage Area Networks in the business based onthe cost, availability and the architecture of the Storage Area Networks. Advantages of the Storage Area Networks and several criteria inthe Storage Area Networks will be part of the Storage Area Networks research. Storage Area Networks give the best solution for business as the database is an important asset for the business. Performance, availability, flexibility and scalability are the main subject in considering Storage Area Networks. Keywords: Storage Area Networks, Knowledge Management System, hybrid model. System Development Life Cycl

Storage Area Networks

This tutorial compares Storage area Network (SAN) technology with previous storage management solutions with particular attention to promised benefits of scalability, interoperability, and high-speed LAN-free backups. The paper provides an overview of what SANs are, why invest in them, and how SANs can be managed. The paper also discusses a primary management concern, the interoperability of vendor-specific SAN solutions. Bluefin, a storage management interface and interoperability solution is also explained. The paper concludes with discussion of SAN-related trends and implications for practice and research

FutureGRID: A Program for long-term research into GRID systems architecture

Proceedings of the 2003 UK e-Science All Hands Meeting, 31st August - 3rd September, Nottingham UKThis is a project to carry out research into long-term GRID architecture, in the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and the Cambridge eScience Center, with support from the Microsoft Research Laboratory, Cambridge. It is part of a larger vision for future systems architectures for public computing platforms, including both scientitic GRID and commodity level computing such as games, peer2peer computing and storage services and so forth, based on work in the laboratories in recent years into massively scaleable distributed systems for storage, computation, content distribution and collaboration[26]
