How Snyk Helps Federal Agencies Prepare for the Genesis Mission Era of AI-Driven Science
Blog post from Snyk
The White House's new Genesis Mission represents a transformative approach to advancing scientific discovery through the integration of AI, national lab computing, and extensive scientific datasets, necessitating robust security measures to protect the underlying software infrastructure. This initiative involves increased AI-enabled research programs, enhanced public-private collaborations, and the expanded use of cloud resources, all of which demand secure-by-design principles to mitigate risks associated with large-scale data access and accelerated development cycles. Snyk supports this mission by providing federal agencies with tools to secure software supply chains, embed security into CI/CD and data pipelines, and ensure cloud and container security for AI compute systems. By fostering secure and transparent software development, Snyk aids in safeguarding the mission-critical domains such as clean energy, biotechnology, and climate modeling, ultimately aligning with federal AI safety expectations and enabling the success of the Genesis Mission.
