Thwarting cyber-attacks and other threats is focus of new institute

Averting cyber-attacks and other threats to vital systems that control the UK’s industry and infrastructure will be the focus of a new EPSRC-funded Research Institute. Researchers at the Research Institute into Trustworthy Industrial Control Systems at Imperial College London, will explore potential threats to the infrastructure that controls a range of processes, from nuclear power generation, to manufacturing, to energy distribution and the national rail network. They will analyse how cyber-attacks that could shut down these Industrial Control Systems can be prevented or counteracted.
