Cybersecurity attacks and threats have been a growing issue for critical infrastructure sectors and general industry. We have seen ransomware attacks, data breaches, phishing, and cybercrimes. While these issues cause problems in daily business execution, there is a more pressing concern lurking on the horizon and seeping through the cracks, the protection of critical infrastructure in this vast landscape of cyberspace. In the not-too-distant past, we have seen evidence of OT attacks like STUXNET (2010), Shamoon (2012), Snowden (2013), Industroyer (2016) and Colonial Pipeline (2021).
In a recent discussion with colleagues related to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA) Standard Committee, questions arose as to whether the NQA-1 Standard needs to focus on providing requirements or guidance for cybersecurity as it relates to safety system quality. The short answer is yes, with some constraints. This presentation focuses on the role of cybersecurity in nuclear facility applications especially in implementation of the ASME NQA-1 Standard. NQA-1 is the standard that nearly all nuclear facilities in the United States, including commercial power plants and government installations,
adhere to in order to comply with federal regulations concerning quality in the nuclear industry.
It will attempt to answer the following questions:
1. Is cybersecurity important to the design and safety of operations technology systems?
2. Should the NQA-1 Standard have requirements for implementing cybersecurity in structures, systems, and components?
3. Should the NQA-1 Standard include guidance for implementing cybersecurity in structures, systems, and components?
