What goes into making a computer security programme

Facilities handling nuclear material or other radioactive material, and undertaking associated activities, are critical infrastructure which require high levels of safety and security. By taking a comprehensive and proactive approach to computer security, organizations can protect the sensitive information assets and computer based systems in these facilities against compromise. The foundation of the IAEA recommended approach to computer security lies in States establishing requirements for national strategy or policy; and enabling confidentiality and the protection of sensitive information and computing systems related to physical protection, nuclear safety, and nuclear material accounting and control. These requirements can also take the form of national regulations that provide for the development and implementation of a computer security programme (CSP).
