Computers play an essential role in all aspects of the management and safe and secure operation of nuclear facilities. Likewise computer-based information systems support competent authorities in the regulation and oversight of such facilities. It is vitally important that all such systems are properly secured against malicious computer-based actions. Staff responsible for nuclear security should have an awareness of the cyber threats, the potential consequence of a cyber-attack, and security controls that are needed to guard against such attacks.

This course provides basic awareness of information and computer security for nuclear security including discussion of the threat, potential impact, computer security programme recommendations, and case studies demonstrating cyber-attack trends and also good security practices.

Please note only nominated participants will be granted access to the course material.
