>> OK. My name is James Goldsmith and I'm an information technology security specialist.
I work at Navy Research Lab as a contractor from Tekla Research.
So, my role at Navy Research Lab is quite diverse.
One of the aspects of the objects that I perform is security defense or security specialist
for computers in the next defendable arena, if you will.
So, I take a computer and they create a new facet or software
for the future and then I try to break that.
And then through breaking it, we can discover how to make it stronger so that
when it gets implemented or deployed to the services, they're able to actually use it
without being hacked or corrupted through other means.
So, through computer hardening, we assess the different vulnerabilities
that the computer may have and then we try to lock that down
at the same time allowing enough operations for the scientist to continue his research.
