A new alerting and monitoring system has been deployed to check the healthiness of the network and a dedicated round of vulnerability scans on the APIs and the infrastructure was orchestrated before the onboarding. A last round of API penetration testing is planned to start shortly to strengthen the network before the official launch of the production-grade network in May.

Additionally,  from 15 June onwards, Confluence users will be required to have the EU Login Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled in their EU Login account in order to access any of the Confluence pages that include (/wikis) in their URL. This will greatly increase the security of data stored in our Confluence spaces. Please note, that if you are impacted by this, it is crucial that you enable the 2FA in your EU Login account; otherwise, you won’t be able to access any Confluence pages anymore.

In order to activate the 2FA, please follow this video. In case you experience problems activating your 2FA, please check the FAQ or open a ticket to describe your issue. Make sure to include the following information:

• Did you use a European Commission computer for your activation (yes/no)?
• Screenshot of the issue
• Description of the issue → Which verification method (as mentioned on pages 4-5 of the attached tutorial) did you use and which problem did you encounter?
