The ISRC assists the Office of Security in defining and developing cost effective tools, countermeasures, and policies to meet the evolving threat to information. This is accomplished by:

• Researching and evaluating emerging information and technology related vulnerabilities, as they apply to DOE's information infrastructure, and developing conceptual guidelines to deal with this emerging threat.

• Assisting in a strategy to reduce the growing concern of unauthorized disclosures and compromises of classified information caused, in part, by the proliferation of modern communication technologies.

• Assisting in the development of effective safeguards and security policy.

• Identifying, categorizing, and characterizing DOE security threats and vulnerabilities using automated information analysis and visualization technology.

• Providing technical assistance on special issues impacting DOE's security program and assisting in the establishment of performance based security requirements.

• Coordinating with other U.S. Government agencies, and assisting in the development of DOE and national policy.

• Providing technical advice and assistance to Headquarters and the field elements in the development of innovative security related applications and techniques for dissemination to the DOE Complex.

• Providing guidance to the DOE complex concerning the Small Business Contractors [brochure] and their security responsibilities.
