Aim
Industry: Will work with Government and the regulator to develop its existing
exercise programme so that cyber is included as a potential vector. This will allow
duty holders to test that its plans, policy and procedures enable the organisation to
identify, manage, defeat and recover from a cyber incident.
Industry will have identified all of its critical assets and have plans in place for how
they can be recovered from a failure, and how they would provide assurance that
they achieved this. In addition industry will where appropriate have solutions in
place to identify whether a hostile actor has gained access to their Information
Technology (IT) or Operational Technology (OT) estate.
Government: Will provide best practice guidance on how industry can detect,
defeat and recover from a cyber incident. Government will also continue to
develop the civil nuclear cyber security exercise programme, taking into account
lessons learnt from any relevant cyber incidents.

Regulator: Will provide assurance that duty holders have appropriate measures
in place to detect, respond and recover from a cyber incident.
