How do you ensure data security and integrity in an HPC environment?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently managing a High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster for our research department, and one of my top priorities is ensuring data security and integrity. Given the scale and complexity of HPC environments, I'm looking for advice on how to effectively protect our data.

What strategies and best practices do you use to ensure data security and integrity in an HPC Computing? Specifically, I'm interested in:

• Techniques for securing data during processing and storage
• Best practices for user authentication and access control
• Tools or software that can help monitor and manage security
• Any challenges you've faced and how you've overcome them

Any insights, tips, or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
