Webinar
Keeping a municipal water system safe and flowing now depends on computers as much as on pumps and pipes. A cyberattack on the control systems behind a municipal water system can disrupt treatment, change water quality, and cut off service to residents. The session explains, in plain terms, how these attacks happen, where a water system is most exposed, and the practical steps that keep it protected, from separating networks and securing remote access to monitoring, planning for incidents, and following the recognized water-sector standards: ISA/IEC 62443, NIST, and CISA.
What you’ll learn:
- Why a municipal water system is a target for cyberattacks.
- What runs your water system behind the scenes: the control-room software, the controllers, the sensors, and the networks that tie them together, plus the growing overlap between office computers and plant systems.
- How an attacker who changes settings like chemical dosing or treatment can affect how the system runs, and the safety of the water.
- How to protect a water system with separated networks, firewalls built for industrial equipment, secure remote access, monitoring, and one-way data connections.
- How to put the recognized water-sector cybersecurity standards (ISA/IEC 62443, NIST, and CISA) to work in a real municipal water system.
- How to spot an attack, respond to it, and recover, while keeping safe water flowing to residents.
