"UK Sets Out Nuclear Cybersecurity Strategy"

The UK government has laid out its cybersecurity plans for the country’s civil nuclear sector, focused on more testing, security by design, and improved collaboration. The UK government outline four key objectives to be met before 2026:

1. Prioritizing cybersecurity as part of a holistic risk management approach and outcome-focused regulation. 
2. Proactive mitigation of cyber risk in the sector and across its supply chain against a backdrop of legacy and emerging technologies.
3. Enhanced resilience by preparing better for and responding to incidents faster and more collaboratively
4. Minimizing impact and recovery time, more collaboration to improve cyber maturity, developing skills, and promoting a security-first culture.  

The nuclear industry will also aim to set a baseline of supply chain security standards, collaborate on third party and component assurance/management, and work with nuclear technology developers on security by design.
