The Environmental Protection Agency’s memorandum on “Addressing PWS Cybersecurity in Sanitary Surveys or an Alternate Process” is a “guide” for public water systems (PWS) to evaluate and improve their cybersecurity posture. The memorandum does provide some useful guidance and recommendations for PWS to identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks in their operations, including conducting vulnerability assessments, developing incident response plans, and implementing cybersecurity controls.
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have led to a surge in cyber threats targeting these critical infrastructure systems. The potential consequences of an attack on ICS/SCADA systems can be devastating, ranging from environmental disasters to large-scale disruptions in essential services. To address these risks, OTNetGuard has developed an innovative ICS/SCADA monitoring sensor that can passively and securely capture analog, serial, and IP ICS/SCADA communications.
