The Case for Cyber Security in the Water Sector
This article begins by presenting federal regulations that establish a baseline for all entities to build justified security controls into water sector systems. The article discusses the transition over the past decade of water systems from isolated and proprietary control systems to a converged network of systems that connect operations to the administrative environment. However, these benefits were accompanied by increased vulnerabilities to cyber threats. Drivers for implementing cyber security are discussed and include: regulations; a high‐profile event; cost; and, reputation risk. Five low‐ or no‐cost steps are provided for quickly mitigating cyber risks.
