Summer student event: Web application security penetration testing workshop 1
Time: 1:00 PM Location: CERN, 513-1-024 Location in CERN maps: https://maps.cern.ch/
In order to protect computers and networks from malicious attacks, we need to find and fix any vulnerabilities before they are identified and exploited by the bad guys (Black Hats). One of the ways to achieve it is to do penetration (security) testing. To do this efficiently, the good guys (White Hats) have to think and act as the bad guys - but with the ultimate goal of securing the target rather than abusing it. In this 4-hour workshop, you will learn the tools, the techniques - and the ethics - of a White Hat penetration tester. We will focus on web applications, as these are the most common targets in any organisation. Speaker: Sebastian Lopienski

Summer student event: Machine Learning - Part 2
Time: 1:30 PM Location: CERN, 500-1-001 (Main Auditorium) Location in CERN maps: https://maps.cern.ch/
Machine learning, which builds on ideas in computer science, statistics, and optimization, focuses on developing algorithms to identify patterns and regularities in data, and using these learned patterns to make predictions on new observations. Boosted by its industrial and commercial applications, the field of machine learning is quickly evolving and expanding. Speaker: Michael Kagan

Summer student event: Computing security
Time: 1:30 PM Location: CERN, 31-3-004 (IT Amphitheatre) Location in CERN maps: https://maps.cern.ch/
In this lecture, Sebastian will present the computer security risk landscape of an international research laboratory, overview various motivations behind attacks, and explain how these threats are addressed at CERN. He will then go into details of several types of vulnerabilities, and incidents affecting CERN in the past - and will discuss lessons learnt. The lecture will conclude with a summary of possible future trends, and ways of responding to them. Speaker: Sebastian Lopienski.
