Managing security of grid architecture with a grid security operation center

Due to the nature of grid computing networks, security pitfalls are plethora and adversaries are sneaking to launch attacks. Keeping this scope in mind, we will discuss our proposed solution for securing grid computing networks that we have called gSOC (Grid Security Operation Center). The main advantage of gSOC is that it can give a global view of security of the entire grid infrastructure. The main difficulty is to deal with the specificities of grid infrastructure, that are: multi-sites networks, multi-administrative domains, dynamic collaboration between nodes and sites, high number of nodes to manage, no clear view of the foreign networks and exchange of security information among different domains.
