Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

This paper provides an overview of the existing and new cybersecurity standards for I&C and Electrical Systems in nuclear power plants around the world. The IEC 62645 is a standard by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) focused on the issue of requirements for computer security programs and system development processes to prevent and/or minimize the impact of cyberattacks against digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems. The IEC 62859 is a standard, officially issued at the end of 2016, which coordinates the safety and cybersecurity requirements.
