Aim
Industry: Will ensure that cyber security is considered as part of decisions to
improve physical security and safety. This will potentially identify cost savings
where the desired outcome can be achieved by a more optimal mix of the three
areas.
Industry will also work with Government to develop a clearly defined career
development path and further development opportunities for a cyber security
professional in the civil nuclear sector. This will grow both the pool of suitably
qualified and experienced cyber security personnel in the sector, as well as raising
personnel’s cyber security capability.
Government: Will support industry in identifying blockers to resources being
allocated to cyber and support industry-wide working to reduce costs and provide
better value for money where appropriate. Government will also work with industry
to raise industry personnel’s cyber security capability. This will include building
cyber into existing and new apprenticeship and graduate programme into the
sector and identify gaps within existing cyber security training, and working with
international partners to ensure that these gaps are covered.

Regulator: Will continue to develop their cyber security training programme and
implement outcome focussed regulation of cyber security and cyber resilience.
This will allow industry to own their cyber security risk and make informed
decisions on the level of the resources required to address the vulnerability.
