Cybersecurity is essential to protecting the data, infrastructure, and technologies behind modern science and society. At the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Sean Peisert leads efforts to secure everything from supercomputers to the power grid. Using innovative approaches like physics-based monitoring and privacy-preserving data analysis, his team’s work positions cybersecurity not just as a defense, but as a tool for enabling collaboration and progress.

About Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab
High performance computing plays a critical role in scientific discovery. Researchers increasingly rely on advances in computer science, mathematics, computational science, data science, and large-scale computing and networking to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences Area researches, develops, and deploys new foundations, tools, and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research across a broad range of scientific disciplines.
