Intended as a defence and technology adoption point.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group has opened a specialised cyber facility to accelerate collaboration across nuclear operators and the supply chain.
Named the Group Cyberspace Collaboration Centre (GCCC) and based in Cumbria, it is intended to provide a space for experts in cyber, digital and engineering to collaborate on how best to adopt new technologies and defend against evolving threats.
This follows the NDA’s investment in group-wide cyber services and capabilities to ensure systems are better protected, more resilient and deliver a strong, consistent approach to common cybersecurity threats.
Warren Cain, ONR Superintending Inspector, welcomed the NDA’s commitment to strengthen their cyber defences with this new specialist facility, saying that “cybersecurity is a key regulatory priority for the Office for Nuclear Regulation.”
David Peattie, NDA Group CEO, said: “The GCCC is further enhancing our collective ability to keep us safe, secure, resilient and sustainable in cyberspace.
“Enabling us to work together more closely means we can defend as one, benefitting the collective security of the individual organisations we serve. When it comes to security, we are never complacent, and we continually invest in our expertise and our technology to further strengthen our capability.”
