When open science meets real-world cybersecurity

Scientific research environments are built for openness and collaboration, often prioritizing long-term discovery over traditional enterprise security. In this Help Net Security interview, Matthew Kwiatkowski, CISO at Fermilab, America’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory, discusses where cybersecurity blind spots emerge, why availability can outweigh confidentiality, and how security teams protect complex, legacy-driven research infrastructure while supporting scientific progress. What kinds of security blind spots emerge when infrastructure is designed by scientists rather than security engineers? … More →
