The Forum brings together cyber-nuclear leaders to share experiences and practices to strengthen cybersecurity at nuclear facilities. Meetings are by invitation only, with up to forty attendees, to provide an environment for substantive engagement. Specifically, we are:

Facilitating the sharing of best practices.

We are bringing together experts from industry-leading organizations, as well as new or small nuclear facilities. Participants include chief information security officers, lead computer security engineers, cyber-nuclear security managers, and others who can share best practices and lay the groundwork for a global cyber-nuclear expert network. Example agenda topics include developing risk frameworks, embedding cybersecurity into organizational culture, recruiting and retaining talent, and addressing supply chain challenges.

Creating a self-sustaining entity.

In partnership with the nuclear industry, international organizations, and industry groups, we are working to develop the appropriate partnerships and funding sources for ongoing Forum support.

Guided by a steering group.

To guide the overall effort, including its sustainability, we have created a Forum steering group, drawing members from key nuclear operators from around the world.

In keeping with NTI’s impact model, the Cyber-Nuclear Forum was successfully spun off by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and is now hosted by the World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS). Building on NTI’s strong foundation, WINS is now in charge to support the Forum as a trusted platform for nuclear operators to collaboratively strengthen cybersecurity across the sector.
