Our Director of Advanced Computing Solutions, Ian Lee, published a new op-ed in Washington Technology examining the security implications of DOE's Genesis Mission, the federal initiative connecting national lab supercomputing infrastructure to commercial cloud platforms and a broader research population. "Federal agencies are under real pressure to move fast on high-performance computing, because the mission outcomes are too important to wait," said our CGO, Ryan McCullough. "The agencies that succeed here will be the ones that match the urgency of the security work to the urgency of the mission itself.” In the piece, “The Genesis Mission has a security problem,” Lee breaks down four risk areas the Genesis Mission introduces:   • Federated identity and access management across trusted domains  • Software supply chain exposure in AI and HPC workloads  • Gaps in threat detection as the user population expands, and   • Federal frameworks still catching up to exascale AI realities. Ian sees it this way: "None of this is an argument against the Genesis Mission. Federated AI compute at national scale is a strategic imperative, and DOE is right to pursue it. What this moment calls for is making security a first-order design requirement, alongside performance and access."
