ShorePoint, LLC, a cybersecurity services firm dedicated to federal customers, announced that Ian Lee, Director of Advanced Computing Solutions, will moderate a panel discussion at the 2026 National Cyber Summit. The summit, scheduled for September 22-24 in Huntsville, Alabama, will feature high-performance computing (HPC) practitioners from the Department of Energy, national laboratories, and the Department of War.
Lee will lead a conversation on Thursday, September 24, from 1:15 to 2 p.m. CDT, in Ballroom 2. The discussion will focus on the gaps between traditional security frameworks and the unique requirements of HPC systems.
The panel will include experts from various organizations, including Ryan Adamson, CISO of American Science Cloud at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Rickey Gregg, Associate Director of Security from the Department of War HPC Modernization Program, Chris McFearin, Director of the Office of Cyber Assessments at the Department of Energy, and Aron Warren, Principal Member of Technical Staff from Sandia National Laboratory.
The session will delve into the practical lessons learned from real assessments of production HPC systems. These lessons will highlight where standard Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and Risk Management Framework (RMF) controls fall short, the unique detection opportunities and blind spots created by HPC-specific telemetry and workload scheduling, and the common oversights made by operators.
ShorePoint's focus on advanced computing solutions underscores its commitment to addressing the evolving cybersecurity landscape. As AI workloads increasingly move onto HPC-class infrastructure, the need for robust security measures becomes more critical. Lee's moderation of this session is expected to provide valuable insights into the current state of HPC security and the steps needed to improve it.
The National Cyber Summit aims to bring together cybersecurity professionals to discuss the latest trends and challenges in the field. By facilitating this panel discussion, ShorePoint is contributing to the ongoing conversation about securing America's scientific and technological infrastructure.
