Engineering -Grade Cybersecurity for Water Systems

The EPA has ordered states to add cybersecurity criteria into regular audits of water utilities. This is not a surprise - cyber attacks with physical consequences have been more than doubling annually for the last several years. The bad news: at this rate of attack and consequence doubling, we will almost certainly see more demands from governments for even more cybersecurity over the next 5 years. The good news: the engineering profession has powerful tools for addressing cyber risk. These tools are unique to OT & industrial environments - they are not even mentioned in widely-used standards like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or IEC 62443. Better yet, the protections provided by safety engineering, reliability engineering, automation engineering and network engineering techniques are engineering-grade. Engineering-grade protections are deterministic and predictable - in the face of even the most powerful of cyber attacks. By deploying engineering-grade protections now, water utilities can get ahead of the cybersecurity problem, rather than constantly chasing new regulations.
In this webinar:
The latest incidents and trends in the cyber threat environment
The new EPA audit advice to states and what it entails
The emerging field of engineering-grade solutions to cyber risk
How to apply these solutions to the water industry
Join us to look at the latest and most powerful techniques for assuring safety, reliability and quality in a world of ever-increasing cyber threats.
