Civil Nuclear Cyber Security Strategy 2022
•
Delivering a sector-wide live cyber incident response exercise with the National
Cyber Security Centre, alongside an exercising programme targeted at senior
decision-makers;
•
Collaborating across the sector on third party and component assurance and
management; and
•
Working with developers of advanced nuclear technologies to support cyber
security by design.
The nature of cyberspace and the challenges faced mean that this strategy cannot be
delivered by any organisation alone, and has therefore been developed jointly with leaders
from public and private sector civil nuclear organisations, the Office for Nuclear Regulation,
and the National Cyber Security Centre. Its success hinges on joint delivery and continued cooperation across all partners. In recognition of this, the strategy has been endorsed by senior
decision-makers across the sector through the Cyber Security Oversight Group, which will take
responsibility for its implementation.
