Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are five main areas of program improvements to security that we made at the lab.
First, around physical security, we have tightened physical security screening measures. We've installed a modernized access control system; we've enhanced radio surveillance and monitoring, and we have strict protocols for delivery and shipping.
We have improved our IMIT information technology to guard against cyber-risks. We have comprehensive threat risk assessments, new procedures for information and travel, and completed updates to key functions.
We have a new policy on affiliations, a new updated approach to student hiring, and strict requirements and new structures for governance and approval, including a science security committee, enhanced incident response and monitoring protocols, compliance monitoring and requirements for declarations of conflicts of interest and affiliations.
