Cybersecurity in Nuclear Facilities

Cybersecurity in nuclear facilities involves protecting computer systems that control and monitor nuclear operations from cyber threats. These systems ensure safety, security, and efficient functioning of nuclear plants. Cyberattacks could potentially cause safety hazards, disrupt operations, or compromise sensitive information. Therefore, robust security measures—including firewalls, encryption, regular updates, and strict access controls—are implemented to detect and prevent unauthorized access or malicious activities. Maintaining cybersecurity is essential to ensure the safety of personnel, the public, and the environment by safeguarding the critical infrastructure of nuclear facilities.
