RECAP - Nuclear Cybersecurity Event

On November 1st, The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), Ontario Power Generation (OPG), and Bruce Power were among the guest presenters at Netsoc's lively Nuclear Cybersecurity Workshop in SIR 3110.

Participants got the unique chance to learn firsthand information on nuclear security and operations from specialists in the field, as well as view real-time cyberattack demos and explore the IAEA cyber simulator thanks to Previous Netsoc President Hayden Nolan.

Students also got to experiment with custom detection rules, launch predefined attacks, and see how a SIEM system detects assaults. Furthermore, students interested in cybersecurity and nuclear operations had a rare opportunity to get practical experience with industrial control system simulation tools during this hands-on program.

We would especially want to thank the organisers and all of the presenters for making this an engaging and educational event including Pizza Depot for their delicious Pizza and Professor Khalil El-Khatib for his organization as well as bonus marks for his cryptography course just for attending!
