Abstract
Nuclear facilities have revolutionised renewable energy worldwide. However, the use of highly radioactive raw materials, capable of causing extensive damage if mismanaged, has made them a priority in national security along with other critical infrastructure facilities. Given this background, the importance of nuclear facilities for national security has strengthened with cases of cyberattacks on nuclear facilities worldwide. This paper analyses the ability of India's cybersecurity framework, both legislative and executive, to fend off cyberattacks on its nuclear facilities, drawing from experiences of cyberattacks worldwide and internationally recommended good standards and practices. Additionally, the paper also looks at how India could mitigate insider threats to its nuclear facilities and cultivate a cybersecurity culture within its nuclear facilities.
