Abstract:
Synchrotron facilities are adopting open science principles, emphasizing online access and remote experimentation while addressing cybersecurity challenges. Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has strengthened the security protocols for its light source BESSY II, using a defense-in-depth approach, which is standard in accelerator environments. This paper outlines these measures and broader efforts of HZB to balance threat mitigation with user needs, leveraging documented attack methods and governance frameworks to enhance cybersecurity in the synchrotron field.
