Great British Nuclear’s Post

In the nuclear industry, where the stakes are incredibly high, our commitment to data security is vital. As a leading provider of uranium enrichment technology, we recognise that safeguarding our advanced technology is not just about protecting our interests – it is about contributing to the broader goals of nuclear non-proliferation and global security. 🔒 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 is deeply embedded in our core values which we call 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐒 – 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. We are committed to protecting our technology, knowledge and customer relationships with the highest standards of security, in strict compliance with international treaties and regulations. Why do we maintain these high standards? Because in a world where the risks are as great as the rewards, ensuring a safe and secure future for all is our top priority. If you are passionate about innovation and security, and want to be part of our team, join us at ETC. Let's work together to secure a safer, more sustainable world. 💼🔋 #Nuclear #Security #TripleS #Cybersecurity

As federal agencies advance in their digital transformation journeys, there's a tremendous opportunity to enhance system and operational efficiency. The OnPoint team is proud to support the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Mission Specific IT Services in this endeavor. We partnered with DOE to provide strategic program support and rigorous monitoring of all IT systems and procedures, driving increased effectiveness in systems development and operations. Learn more about our work supporting DOE and other federal agencies that are addressing our nation's energy, environment and nuclear challenges. https://lnkd.in/e84HwBdU #DigitalTransformation #DOE #ITInnovation Samara Schulman, Greg DeLoache, Jeff Mercurio, MS, David Hefter, Sam Kurdi, Pete Tseronis

The UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) is stepping up cyber defences with a new Group Cyberspace Collaboration Centre 🛡️ 📊 With cyberattacks on vital assets up 264% in two years, the need for robust security has never been clearer. 📰 Read the full article for insights from David Peattie FREng HonFNucI and Warren C., Office for Nuclear Regulation and info on how this initiative supports national security. #CyberSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #AI #Robotics #UKInnovation #NuclearSafety

How are nuclear weapons related to other existential threats (and what does climate change have to do with them)? 🌍🚀 As the team at BASIC (British American Security Information Council) put it so pointedly: "Existential threats are not just literal threats to humanity’s existence, but also threats to our way of life and place in the natural world." 🌱🌐 Involving students, young and mid-career professionals from across the world, BASIC's policy cycles are designed to de-silo the #nuclear field, discover connections with other existential threats, and explore legislative strategies for collective mitigation. Our folks from focus group three - Haleema Saadia, Tristan Norman, Wandile Shezi, Fateme Fazel, Carla Montilla, and I - used this opportunity to explore issues and challenges surrounding the nuclear-climate nexus (see our little #Kumu mapping exercise below). 🔍 You can check out the full report with chapters on Cyber, AI, COP28, and more, here: https://lnkd.in/euPPfmx5 Cheerios to my group mates; proud of the work that went into this! 🎉👏 Thank you to the EVN team at BASIC and Ploughshares Fund, for providing the organizational framework and funding for this! And massive thanks to Declan Penrose in particular, who authored, coordinated, managed, communicated, advertised, and stood behind this entire project! 🙏✨

What happens when a nuclear weapon is detonated miles above Earth’s surface? A threat more invisible but equally destructive as any explosion: the High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP). While many focus on the immediate destruction of a nuclear event, a detonation in space or at high altitudes unleashes a far-reaching electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can devastate ground-based technologies – particularly our power grids and electronics. This phenomenon, known as a High-Altitude EMP (HEMP), presents an escalating security risk to critical infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Energy recently provided updated guidelines outlining the key components of HEMP. ProCustom Group H-EMP protected laptops are designed and certified to protect against this very scary threat! Are you prepared for the invisible storm brewing above us? #Cybersecurity #customRugged #EMP #HEMP #CriticalInfrastructure #EnergySecurity

Are the new big AI labs of the modern era equivalent to the nuclear labs of the old era, which discovered nuclear reactions? Both seem to have significant positive applications and, unfortunately, negative ones. #ai #aigovernance #airegulations #aiadvancements #aiapplications #explainableai #responsibleai #cybersecurity

Sellafield, Europe's largest nuclear site, was hit with a £330,000 fine for serious cybersecurity breaches spanning four years. This wasn't just a slap on the wrist—this was a wake-up call for critical infrastructure everywhere. For a site managing plutonium stockpiles and decommissioning nuclear facilities, leaving IT security protocols unchecked is unacceptable. Cybersecurity isn't just about data—it's about public safety and avoiding costly downtime and fines. If Sellafield's systems were vulnerable, what does that say about the rest of us? Are your business systems airtight? The costs of not securing your critical infrastructure could be far greater than a fine. Let's talk about future-proofing your cybersecurity before it's too late.

Meet the speakers of Swiss Cyber Storm 2024: Ruben Santamarta: "When Physics Meets (Reverse) Engineering: Understanding Cyber-Physical Attacks Against Nuclear Reactors" The current unstable geopolitical situation has once again, after many years, brought back the everlasting threat of a nuclear conflict. This talk is intended to contribute further to a better understanding of the different cyber-physical attacks that may impact nuclear facilities, driven from the perspective of hypothetical, but realistic, state-sponsored operations. One of the novel aspects of this research is that it is based on the analysis of specific digital instrumentation and control equipment (class 1E), that is currently deployed in multiple nuclear power plants across Europe (including Swiss NPP such as Beznau or Gösgen), USA, Russia, or China. Ruben Santamarta is an independent European security researcher with more than 20 years of experience. In these years he has found and published dozens of vulnerabilities in common desktop software and operating systems, industrial control systems, SCADA software, IoT devices, RF controllers, radiation detection devices, SATCOM, maritime equipment, and avionics systems. He has presented multiple times at international security conferences such as #BlackHat USA. His research projects are usually covered by international media outlets. Ruben is the top contributing researcher to Die Schweizerische Post’s e-voting #bugbounty program. His main areas of expertise are reverse engineering, source code analysis, and industrial control systems. Swiss Cyber Storm 2024 will take place on October 22 at Kursaal Bern.
