Do You Want to Learn More About Preventing Cyber Attacks?
Around the world, water utilities are expected to continually protect their critical infrastructure from cybersecurity risks. Join us in learning how Xylem and Dragos are securely digitizing water.
This webinar aims to help answer several key questions for operations managers, responders to the EPA Sanitation Survey, and instrumentation/control systems engineers:
- How can Water utilities protect themselves?
- How to apply the 5 Critical Controls to Water / Wastewater Systems (WWS)
- How can the 5 Critical Controls for ICS/OT Cybersecurity help respond to the EPA Sanitary Survey cybersecurity questions?
- How to get started
- Why do we call cybersecurity a continuous journey and a shared responsibility?
The 5 Critical Cybersecurity Controls help water operators and managers solve their most pressing cybersecurity challenges and preserve the value gained from digital technology. It also helps drive discussions with digital product and cybersecurity vendors to ensure that they are focusing on the shared responsibility and continuous journey of cybersecurity.
The breadth and depth of the Xylem product portfolio gives us a “whole of network view” across risks to the water sector, including water collection, transport, treatment, removal, measurement, control, and analysis. We partner with Dragos for dedicated Cybersecurity Incident Response to maintain constant vigilance, and to swiftly respond to any identified cybersecurity alerts with potential impact on the water sector. As we share this responsibility with Dragos, we proactively support customers with any cybersecurity incident involving Xylem products.
In a world that is deriving vast value from digital solutions, deep cybersecurity expertise offers confidence that those solutions are truly solving water.
