Ready to Secure Your Nuclear Facility?

Why Cybersecurity Matters in Nuclear Energy

The nuclear energy sector is a critical infrastructure cornerstone, powering economies and communities while upholding stringent safety standards. However, the integration of digital control systems, cloud-based platforms, and IoT devices has expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors. From ransomware targeting operational technology (OT) to sophisticated espionage aimed at intellectual property, the threats are real and evolving.

At Verus, we understand the unique cybersecurity risks facing nuclear power plants, research facilities, and fuel cycle operations. Our comprehensive IT and cybersecurity services are designed to safeguard your digital assets, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with regulatory frameworks like the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) 10 CFR 73.54 Cyber Security Rule. With over two decades of experience, we’re here to secure your operations today and prepare you for tomorrow’s challenges.
