Cybersecurity in the Nuclear Industry

This WINS International Best Practice Guide presents a practical overview of cybersecurity in the nuclear industry to allow professionals from all backgrounds to communicate effectively with specialists and make informed decisions in this area. The Guide discusses the nature of cyberthreat actors and the defensive strategies and cybersecurity programmes that protect digital systems, especially those that perform the most critical functions in a facility, such as nuclear safety, nuclear security, and emergency preparedness and response.

This Guide also contains a Self-Assessment Questionnaire that can be used to answer questions about various aspects of cybersecurity in the nuclear industry and how it is implemented at your organisation. The results of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire can then be applied to the five-level Maturity Scale in the Guide.
