Webinar on Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' Cyber Security Mission

CNL is actively working toward the development of a nuclear industrial control cyber intrusion detection and mitigation system for protection of critical state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Join one of CNL's Cyber Security Research Scientist, Alex Amos, and a guest interviewer from the University of Guelph, Keerthana Madhavan as we discuss some of the cutting-edge work we are undertaking to protect global nuclear infrastructure.

Cyber security of industrial control systems is a growing concern in all industries, and particularly in the nuclear industry; a multi-billion-dollar worldwide market. Demands for modern, technology-based solutions emerge daily. While a large commercial industry caters to the cyber security of information technology (IT) systems, most solution providers are focused on conventional hacking and data theft.

The cyber security of industrial control systems used in nuclear power plants, as well as non-nuclear process plants, and other critical energy infrastructure is in its infancy. Unlike IT systems, industrial control systems are often bound by strict regulatory requirements and rigorous change controls that introduce complexities, risks and costs. Solutions require specialists in Instrumentation & Control systems with cyber security expertise.
