THE THREAT

Today’s need for advanced cyber security protection is paramount. Cyber risk is one of the top threats facing businesses and critical infrastructure in the United States and worldwide. The water and wastewater sector are especially vulnerable to a wide variety of cyber-attacks due, in many cases, to a shortage of existing cybersecurity measures as well as the lack of awareness of just how vulnerable the industry is to attack. This situation makes the risk of loss so much greater. The impact of any attack can be significant ranging from critical data being ransomed to assaults on Industrial Control Systems (ICS) of the utility.

THE SOLUTION

As part of a comprehensive cybersecurity posture, utilities must incorporate solutions that acknowledge the fact that in many cases, existing resources are limited, whether they be financial, human or technical. Simple, easy to manage and cost-effective security solutions that do not require on-site cyber security expertise are essential to any utility seeking to mitigate risk. These solutions must be able to protect critical infrastructure and in the event of an attack, also be able to straightforwardly and quickly identify assets under attack and easily explain what steps should be taken to mitigate such attack BEFORE any damage is done.
