Science and Security in the 21st Century A Report to the Secretary of Energy on the Department of Energy Laboratories Commission on Science and Security

The policies and practices of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) risk undermining its security and compromising its science and technology programs. This is the overarching finding of the Commission on Science and Security, tasked by DOE to assess the challenges faced in operating premier scientific institutions in the twenty-first century, while protecting and enhancing national security. In support of its finding, the commission identified five fundamental problems: (1) continuing management dysfunction; (2) poor collaboration between the science and security/counterintelligence communities; (3) lack of an effective system for risk-based security management practices; (4) inadequate investment in new tools and technologies for its security and counterintelligence programs; and (5) insufficient attention to cyber security.Witkowsky, Anne is the author of 'Science and Security in the 21st Century A Report to the Secretary of Energy on the Department of Energy Laboratories Commission on Science and Security' with ISBN 9780892064106 and ISBN 0892064102.
