Why Is Cybersecurity Important for Water & Wastewater Utilities?

Cybersecurity Challenges for Water & Wastewater

Volume of cyberattacks
There has been a troubling rise in attempted cyberattacks against water & wastewater infrastructure in the past few years. Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and complexity, and the water sector needs to keep pace with the expanding threat landscape.

Increasing cybersecurity regulations, guidelines and mandates
Around the world, regulators are introducing new and evolving cybersecurity guidelines and legislation for water utilities, such as the NIS2 Directive in Europe and the EPA Cybersecurity Best Practices in the US. To keep up with, water utilities need a cybersecurity solution that can automate many of these requirements.

Limited resources
Water utilities typically have limited security budgets and smaller teams, which can make running an effective cybersecurity program challenging. Fortunately, cybersecurity grants have become available in some countries recently to help address this challenge.

Impact severity
Because water is an incredibly important resource for human life, impacts on water quality or availability from a cyberattack could be devastating for a community, as we saw in the 2021 Florida water utility attack which was thwarted by a vigilant operator.
