Computer security, within a nuclear security regime, requires continuous improvement to computer security measures in order to mitigate ever-increasing adversary capabilities. A State should ensure that computer security is addressed through each activity undertaken within a nuclear security regime, in order to provide for continued support and assurance of the essential elements of a nuclear security regime. This includes the application of effective methods and technologies that can then be leveraged for the increased security of nuclear material, nuclear facilities, and other radioactive material, and for efforts to detect and respond to material out of regulatory control, detailed within nuclear security guidance and international best practice.

In that context, the objective of this national event is to familiarize participants with the fundamental elements of nuclear security and enhance their knowledge and practical application of computer security. The training course will provide participants with an understanding of the IAEA Nuclear Security Series guidance and implementation techniques to protect computer-based systems to establish an effective computer security program.

This event is designed for nuclear security professionals supporting national nuclear security regimes.
