How international collaboration keeps the world safe from cyberthreats (Russian Edition)

The nuclear industry faces a significant challenge in maintaining computer security owing to the widespread use of digital devices. This trend is evident in everyday life, where smart fridges, lighting and other devices controlled remotely via cloud computing have become commonplace. Many systems at nuclear facilities, which previously would not have had any digital components, now have digital elements. Their computational power, reprogrammable nature and ability to interconnect delivers unequalled efficiency in the support of operations, nuclear safety and nuclear security. Small modular reactors and other new reactor designs are being developed in a digital-first world with an even more widespread use of computer systems than in previous designs. They may be designed to operate remotely or even autonomously, utilizing computer network infrastructure to communicate with a central operator. This approach can enable operators and automated systems to analyse large amounts of data to increase the operational efficiency of the nuclear facility.
