Supercomputers power some of the most advanced research in the world—but securing them is no easy task. At the Elastic Public Sector Summit in Washington, D.C., Drill Down Insider spoke with Ian Lee, HPC Cybersecurity Architect at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, about the unique challenges of securing high-performance computing (HPC) environments. ⚡🖥️

Lee breaks down how Livermore Lab ensures compliance with DOE and federal cybersecurity requirements while protecting its massive computing infrastructure. He explains why traditional security models don’t always apply to supercomputers and how open-source tools are playing a critical role in safeguarding research and national security data. From tracking threats in complex networked environments to mitigating vulnerabilities in real time, this conversation provides a rare glimpse into the intersection of HPC and cybersecurity.
