Countering Threats in an Increasingly Digitized World

In May 2022, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) became the first IAEA Collaborating Centre for information and computer security for nuclear security. The AIT provides support for international and regional training courses and exercises in computer security for nuclear facilities and activities, develops technical demonstration modules for enhancing awareness about cyberthreats, and contributes to the development of training materials for the new Nuclear Security
Training and Demonstration Centre at Seibersdorf. To better understand this cooperation, we talked to Helmut Leopold, Head of the Center for Digital Safety and Security at the AIT.
