Small Team, Big Mandate: Securing Municipal Water Systems

As cybersecurity requirements continue to evolve, water and wastewater utilities are facing increasing pressure to strengthen the security of their operational technology (OT) environments. With expanding federal and state guidance, from NY DOH and DEC oversight to EPA sanitary survey expectations and AWIA requirements, many organizations are navigating how these expectations apply to systems like SCADA, PLCs, HMIs and the broader plant network. 

Join us for an informative webinar to learn how cybersecurity regulations are changing, how today's threats are impacting critical infrastructure and what practical steps municipal utilities can take to improve visibility and secure operational systems without disrupting operations.

During this session, you'll learn:

• How evolving federal and state cybersecurity requirements, including EPA guidance, NY DOH and DEC direction, and AWIA risk and resilience mandates, are shaping expectations for water and wastewater utilities
• Why OT environments require a different security approach than traditional IT networks
• The cyber threats targeting industrial control systems and the vulnerabilities they exploit
• Funding opportunities, including the NY SECURE grant and EFC financing, that may help support cybersecurity initiatives
• A practical, phased strategy for improving OT visibility and strengthening secure access
