A Security Monitoring Framework For Virtualization Based HEP Infrastructures
High Energy Physics (HEP) distributed computing infrastructures require
automatic tools to monitor, analyze and react to potential security incidents.
These tools should collect and inspect data such as resource consumption, logs
and sequence of system calls for detecting anomalies that indicate the presence
of a malicious agent. They should also be able to perform automated reactions
to attacks without administrator intervention. We describe a novel framework
that accomplishes these requirements, with a proof of concept implementation
for the ALICE experiment at CERN. We show how we achieve a fully virtualized
environment that improves the security by isolating services and Jobs without a
significant performance impact. We also describe a collected dataset for
Machine Learning based Intrusion Prevention and Detection Systems on Grid
computing. This dataset is composed of resource consumption measurements (such
as CPU, RAM and network traffic), logfiles from operating system services, and
system call data collected from production Jobs running in an ALICE Grid test
site and a big set of malware. This malware was collected from security
research sites. Based on this dataset, we will proceed to develop Machine
Learning algorithms able to detect malicious Jobs.Comment: Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Computing in High
