Water and wastewater management facilities are vital to modern society increasingly targeted by cyberattacks

Water and wastewater management facilities play a crucial role in society, supporting public health, sustainability, and economic progress. However, these critical systems are facing a rising threat from cyberattacks, which jeopardize both the operational integrity of engineering systems and the safety of individuals. To address this risk, the SANS Institute emphasizes the importance of implementing the Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls

These controls aim to fortify the resilience of water systems against cyber threats by focusing on key measures such as secure configurations, continuous monitoring, and incident response. By adopting these best practices, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture and safeguard the essential services provided by water and wastewater facilities. ```
