EXCERPT:

It is our intention that the findings of the research and the proposals put forward in this report for dealing with the cyber threat to the civil nuclear energy should be considered in the spirit of assistance and engagement. The nuclear industry is fortunate in having established regulatory systems and international guidance. The Nuclear Security Summit process, with the next meeting due in 2016, and the role of the IAEA in addressing nuclear security and nuclear safety in concert are mechanisms to ensure that this important issue will start to receive more attention. The nuclear industry, regulatory bodies, security establishments, governments and international organizations need to engage with cyber security experts and academics, on a sustainable basis, to formulate robust policy responses through coordinated plans of action to deal with the technical, managerial and cultural shortfalls identified in this report.
