A Science DMZ is a special network architecture designed to improve the speed at which large science data transfers can be made. They have become a common solution to the issue of busy academic networks causing slowdowns or failures of large data transfers. A new paper published by Trusted CI on the security of Science DMZs provides an overview of this type of network architecture, summarizing the current best practice cybersecurity risk mitigations as well as providing additional security recommendations. This session is a brief introduction to the Science DMZ concept and presents an overview of the mitigations documented in the paper.
