Airbus Protect is proud to announce its sponsorship of Nuclear Strategy's upcoming event, "Enhancing the Nuclear Economy." The event will take place on May 8th at the prestigious Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, UK.
This pivotal event will bring together key stakeholders from across the nuclear sector to discuss strategies for growth, innovation and resilience within the industry.
Key topics to be covered include:
As a sponsor, Airbus Protect underscores its commitment to supporting the safe, secure and sustainable development of the nuclear economy.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from Ben Worthy, Technical Lead and Senior OT Cybersecurity Consultant at Airbus Protect.
Ben’s presentation, “Bridging Safety Across Critical Industries: Learning from Aviation’s Journey to Cyber Resilience for a Safer Nuclear Future,” will explore the following:
For decades, both aviation and nuclear industries have demonstrated remarkable success in driving down the number of safety-related incidents. This presentation will visually highlight these impressive downward trends, showcasing the effectiveness of rigorous safety cultures and continuous improvement.
However, a new frontier in safety is emerging: the increasing interconnectedness of Operational Technology (OT) and the growing threat of cyberattacks. As cyber incidents can now have direct safety implications in critical infrastructure, it’s imperative that we proactively address these risks.
This session will explore the crucial need to break down traditional silos between physical safety and cybersecurity teams. Drawing valuable lessons from the aviation sector’s proactive approach to integrating safety and security considerations – exemplified by initiatives like Part-IS – we will demonstrate how these strategies and frameworks can be adapted and applied to enhance cyber resilience within the nuclear industry.
Join us on May 8th to discover how cross-industry learning and a unified approach can pave the way for an even safer and more secure future for critical operations.
We are delighted to sponsor Nuclear Strategy's 'Enhancing the Nuclear Economy' event. The nuclear sector plays a vital role, and as it embraces new technologies and efficiencies, ensuring robust cybersecurity is paramount. We look forward to engaging with industry leaders and sharing our expertise to help build a more secure future for nuclear operations.
Nuclear Strategy’s “Enhancing the Nuclear Economy” promises to be a valuable forum for networking, knowledge sharing and strategic discussions on these critical topics. Airbus Protect’s sponsorship and Ben Worthy’s insightful presentation will contribute significantly to the conversation around ensuring the long-term security and prosperity of the nuclear industry.
