Nuclear facilities depend on highly integrated digital systems, from monitoring devices and control room interfaces to remote data processing solutions. All of which now fall under the Cyber Resilience Act’s requirements for secure by design digital products.
From 11 September 2026, manufacturers and operators will be required to detect and report any exploited vulnerabilities, including those affecting legacy components still in operation. As nuclear energy remains a core part of Europe’s critical infrastructure, organisations face growing expectations around lifecycle security, documented update processes and robust supply chain oversight to protect operational integrity and meet regulatory obligations.
