WHAT:
|
|
|
Although news headlines tend to focus on the cyber threat to the
electric grid, water utilities are not immune to ransomware and
other threats. In fact, they may be even more vulnerable. One of
the primary reasons is that utility operations, not just billing
and customer service functions, are increasingly connected to the
internet. This includes pump stations and treatment systems.
Internet connectivity enables operators to remotely monitor
systems and reduce maintenance costs. Attackers have noticed, and
are exploiting utility system weaknesses. While most accidents go
unreported, the hack of a dam in New York in the summer of 2013
did make the news. In this session, Don't Let Cyber Attacks
Leave You 'Dead in the Water', Chris will discuss how cyber
attackers can breach water utility networks and their operational
systems to compromise water safety and availability. He will
explain the security gaps that expose utilities to external
threats and discuss what type of security controls can be
implemented to reduce risk and improve operations.

About ISA Water/Wastewater Symposium
Presented by the ISA
Water and Wastewater Industries Division, in collaboration with the WEF
Intelligent Water Technology Committee and the Chesapeake
AWWA Section, the WWAC Symposium helps professionals in the water
and wastewater industries understand how instrumentation, SCADA
(supervisory control and data acquisition), and automatic control
applications are vital to the treatment and distribution of water; the
collection and treatment of wastewater; and the management of
stormwater. The symposium also provides an excellent opportunity to gain
valuable technical information, networking, professional development,
and continuing education credits (CEUs and PDHs). For more information
