The objective of this five-day in person training course is to build awareness of the cyberthreat to nuclear facilities and to discuss the implementation of cybersecurity to reduce the risk from cyberattack. The course also serves as a venue for information sharing on operator experience related to implementing cybersecurity and developing a cyber-aware culture at nuclear facilities.
Cybersecurity is the protection of digital systems and the information contained within these systems against cyberattacks. Specifically, cybersecurity seeks to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of digital systems and the associated data and processes they maintain.
Cybersecurity is a subset of information security which looks at the broader protection of information in both digital and physical form. Along with physical protection, cybersecurity needs to be part of the overall security strategy at a nuclear facility, and enhancing cybersecurity capabilities in the nuclear industry is a main priority for WINS.
The target audience of this activity are delegates from the UK who have a responsibility for managing and leading cybersecurity to protect UK nuclear assets from potential cyberthreats.
- Operators/licensees
- Government officials
- Regulators
The course has been designed for anyone new to cybersecurity within the nuclear sector and individuals with no or limited Operational Technology (OT) experience. The training will also benefit CISOs and SIRO’s who are looking for a better understanding of cybersecurity and in particular the balance of IT versus OT. Placing everything firmly into a nuclear context.
There are a maximum of 24 delegate places available. Nuclear industry professionals including female practitioners from diverse backgrounds and people with diverse gender identities are encouraged to apply.
The course will be delivered by a team of tutors with extensive and first hand knowledge of cybersecurity in the UK and International nuclear sector.
Discussion will also focus on relevant cybersecurity incidents and the lessons learned from these events and the lectures will use scenario-based discussions, demonstrations and group exercises related to implementing and managing cybersecurity at a fictitious nuclear power plant to embed the learning. Participant discussions and questions are greatly encouraged.
The training course will be held in English. As with all WINS events, the discussions will be unclassified but subject to Chatham House rules (what was said can be reported, but not attributed).
The per delegate fee for attending the training course is 2850.00 GBP
