Webinar Summary

According to the EPA, 70% of water systems inspected since September 2023 have critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities and do not comply with the Safe Water Drinking Act. For hackers, water facilities present a tempting mix of vulnerable, high-impact targets. Common threats include ransomware, sleeper agents such as logic bombs, cyber-physical attacks and insider threats. This presentation explores the real-world consequences of unsecured water and wastewater utilities, and suggests viable, affordable solutions.

Webinar Format

This webinar will include a moderated Q and A session following the speaker’s presentation. The session is open to environmental engineering and science professionals across all sectors and career stages. Our objective is to offer special insights on leading edge solutions for graduate and undergraduate students as well as early to mid-career environmental professionals who are considering specialty certification.
