Safeguards and Security Program: The purpose of the Office of Science (SC) Safeguards, and Security, is to assure that effective programs are in place for the protection of SC interests from loss, damage, or other harm, whether intentional or unintentional. This includes assets in the possession or control of SC Headquarters, the Site Offices, SC Chicago Office (SC-CH), and SC Oak Ridge Office (SC-OR), as well as third parties under various types of agreements with the Office of Science: management and operating (M&O) and non-M&O contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, Interagency Agreements, etc.

Cyber Security Program: The main goal of Cyber Security Program is to protect the Department of Energy’s (DOE) information systems to ensure that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all information is commensurate with mission needs, information value, and associated threats. The structure of the program is focused on risk management and reduction in order to minimize the likelihood of potential cyber attacks by identifying, reporting, and responding to anomalous cyber activity that may serve as a potential threat to the security of the network and our national security. While supporting the cyber security mission to enable improved DOE mission accomplishment while strengthening the protection of systems and data, this program also functions to enhance security solutions to ensure that DOE’s information systems are protected. In general, the Cyber Security program serves as a defense mechanism against threats and attacks, ensures adequate protection of data by having a responsive and reactive approach to threats against the network, and also implements required policies for effective achievement of DOE’s cyber security mission.
