Cybersecurity for the Water Sector

Assessing your cybersecurity risk helps identify vulnerabilities, potential threats, and the impact of a cyber incident on your water or wastewater system and can help prioritize actions to strengthen defenses and ensure safe, reliable service for your community.

Planning helps water and wastewater utilities prepare effective response and recovery plans for cybersecurity incidents which can minimize disruptions, protect critical operations, and restore services quickly after an attack.

Learning and training helps water and wastewater utility staff build essential cybersecurity knowledge and skills which can empower employees to recognize threats, respond effectively, and safeguard critical systems.

Knowing how to respond to a cybersecurity incident can help water and wastewater utilities take swift, effective action and provide a strong response which can limit damage, protect critical operations, and speed up the recovery process.

Funding can be essential in helping water and wastewater utilities strengthen their cyber resilience and leveraging these resources can support critical upgrades, training, and protections to safeguard essential services.
