Why is Graham Interested

Graham explained that he is the "Technical Representative for Online/Offline Computing" for the Physics Div. to a lab-wide cyber-security steering committee. A recent committee topic involved security related to remote access to experimental hardware (Mont brought this up). Questions include what can be controlled, by whom and from where, and what security measures are needed to enable this. Current thinking involves separate secured networks for controls with two-factor security tokens needed to get into these networks, where one factor involves having a piece of hardware in your possession in order to get in. EPICS gateways will be used to supply read access to controls variables, but write access will be protected
