Cybersecurity and Nuclear Facilities

This chapter covers cyber threats to the nuclear enterprise and suggests ways that India and the United States can mitigate such dangers. Indian author Pulkit Mohan describes the Indian government’s evolving regulatory approach to the problem. Mohan argues for measures including the creation of an effective security culture, addressing supply-chain vulnerabilities, and strengthening cybersecurity agreements with like-minded countries. U.S. authors Clifford Glantz et al. explain the importance of cybersecurity to the protection of the U.S. nuclear enterprise. They discuss the evolving U.S. regulatory environment, U.S. approaches to cyber defense and supply-chain security, and the challenge of assessing cybersecurity.
