Abstract: High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems are used to push the frontier of science. However, the security of these systems remains a significant concern as the number of cyber-attacks on HPC systems have increased. Attacks on HPC systems can threaten data confidentiality, integrity, and system availability. Thus, if left unaddressed, these threats could decrease the ability to push the frontier of science. While HPC and enterprise systems are found to have similar threats, traditional security solutions are insufficient for HPC systems. This research examines HPC attacks by using NIST Special Publication 800-30r1: Guide to Conducting Risk Assessments to create a generalized threat profile. A threat profile characterizes the threat sources and adversarial outsiders and is used to identify traditional security solutions that could mitigate risks. Results demonstrated that attacks originated at the login nodes, followed by coordinated campaigns that propagated the attacks across organiza tional systems. The traditional security solutions that could be used to protect the login nodes negatively impact HPC performance. These performance impacts impede the ability to push the frontier of science. As a result, these security solutions are unlikely to be deployed in HPC systems. (More)
