This document provides a framework to manage the interactions between safety and cybersecurity for nuclear power plant (NPP) systems, taking into account the current SC 45A standards addressing these issues and the specifics of nuclear I&C programmable digital systems.
NOTE In this document (as in IEC 62645), cybersecurity relates to prevention of, detection of, and reaction to
malicious acts perpetrated by digital means (cyberattacks). In this context, it does not cover considerations related to non-malevolent actions and events such as accidental failures, natural events or human errors (except those degrading cybersecurity). Those aspects are of course of prime importance but they are covered by other SC 45A documents and standards, and are not considered as cybersecurity related in this document.Cross References:IEC 62645:2014IEC 60709:2004IEC 61513:2011IEC 60880:2006IEC 62566:2012IEC 62340IEC 62138:2004IEC 61500:2009CSA N290.7:2014IEC 61508-4IAEA INSAG-241:2012GS-G-3.5:2009IAEA Safety Guide SSG-34GS-R-3:2006IAEA Safety Guide SSG-39IEEE 7-4.3.2-2010IAEA Safety Guide SSG-30ISA TR84.00.09-2013IEC 61508-1GS-G-3.1:2006IEC 62443IEC 61508-2IEC 61508-3Incorporates the following:Amendment, November 2019
