Recent cybersecurity testing of SLAC systems and the impact on Experiment Control Systems

...

To address these concerns, additional safety and security measures are being planned and implemented.  These measures include improved overall security of interface devices, review of network segmentation to ensure isolation of systems as appropriate, as well as implementing detection methods to identify undesired network traffic before it causes a problem. Plans are also under way, initiated by CSWG and ECS, to add strong cybersecurity to EPICS as a part of SLAC's contribution to the Collaboration. We don’t intend to stop there.  As the Cybersecurity team likes to say, security is a journey, not a destination.

We are closing out the effort to move from EVRs to TPRs for all devices expected to run triggered in the controls system. In addition, we added support to receive the LCLS1 timing from the LCLS2 fiber which sits behind the DAQs XPM as well as support for the DAQ partition bit.

The DC system architecture page consists of architecture drawings depicting the connections from the supply to the end device which can be a component or a DinDIN-Railrail. The page covers which cables to use with which components and links to the released cable drawing page. A example of the architecture is shown in the image below.

We think we may aim to validate these plans at the lab-wide level if possible.

Here's an example of a Figma session with a quick mock up for the Compound Refractive Lens.

We’ll be evaluating a number of prototyping tools and processes, if you have thoughts about this topic let us know!
