Given that SEAL is not connected to the internet, that threat is minimal in this context. Instead, our focus is on every day security risks – a researcher capturing a screenshot with their phone, or letting an unauthorized person into the lab to show them something.

We manage these threats through user agreements and clear communication. It is in the interest of everyone involved with SEAL that it remain secure, and so we identify and actively educate researchers about common shortcuts or habits that put security at risk.

We have gone to great lengths to invest in technologies and processes that protect from external security threats. We act as a community and engage directly with conversations because we know that the most significant remaining treat is internal and without malice.
