As one of sixteen critical national infrastructure (CNI) sectors within the United States, it\u2019s on the front lines of attack when it comes to cyberwarfare. Evidence of first shots has already been found, with more expected to come. Aside from the AWIA, we\u2019ll list the drumbeats here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Joint advisory by the FBI, CISA, EPA and NSA on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\/alerts\/aa21-287a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ongoing Cyber Threats to U.S. Water and Wastewater Systems<\/a><\/li>\n<li>CISA\u2019s Fact Sheet on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/CISA_Fact_Sheet-Rising_Ransomware_Threat_to_OT_Assets_508C.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rising Ransomware Threat to Operational Technology Assets<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\/alerts\/aa22-103a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">APT Cyber Tools Targeting ICS\/SCADA devices<\/a>, a joint advisory alert (Department of Energy, CISA, FBI, NSA) stating that Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors have exhibited the ability to gain full access to industrial control systems, such as the ones used by the water industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Add to this the Biden Administration\u2019s 100-day push to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/01\/27\/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-expands-public-private-cybersecurity-partnership-to-water-sector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cExpand Private-Public Cybersecurity Partnership to the Water Sector\u201d<\/a> and it\u2019s no secret that the US is in an urgent race to shore up our cybersecurity defenses for critical national infrastructure agencies like the water sector.

Resist the urge to dive headlong into an IT\/OT integration, as legacy OT infrastructure (of which the water industry is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ey.com\/en_dk\/power-utilities\/water-utilities-six-focus-areas-to-help-build-cyber-resilience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">largely built<\/a>) carries with it some lingering vulnerabilities and considerable risks)<\/li>\n<li><strong>System patches. <\/strong>It\u2019s understandable that you wouldn\u2019t want to do a full system update because it can take down the network and disrupt service but applying system patches as available is mandatory. If you get infiltrated by a piece of malware, your network and service will be disrupted anyway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train on new technology. <\/strong>As you rush out to make new technology investments to bolster your cybersecurity risk management profile, make sure you take the time to train and hire experts. Or, <a href=\"https:\/\/itegriti.com\/kw022024\/managed-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consult with a firm<\/a> who can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invest in visibility. <\/strong>You can only protect what you can see, so invest in cyber solutions that are going to provide you visibility across tools, platforms, vendors and environments (cloud, hybrid) so your risk assessment covers the full scope of your enterprise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 24; line-height: 1.04;\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"24.96px\"><strong>You\u2019ve made the risk assessment: Now what?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now comes the fun part. You put it into practice. But it\u2019s one thing to have everything sorted on paper and entirely another to be able to turn those risk assessments into hard, actionable steps with the right tooling, the right talent, and the expert advisory your municipal water org may or may not have.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why ITEGRITI is here to help. We understand that most water facilities are understaffed, overworked and lacking the funding to hire the cybersecurity experts needed to run CNI-level defense right. And, even if you were looking to outsource to an MSP, MSSP, EDR, EPP, MDR or XDR provider \u2013 how do you know which one you need, or how much is too much for your operation?<\/p>\n<p>Our Virtual CISO (v<a href=\"https:\/\/itegriti.com\/kw022024\/managed-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CISO<\/a>) can help.

Our <a href=\"https:\/\/itegriti.com\/kw022024\/managed-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vCompliance<\/a> team does the same, bolstering your current staff and providing expertise from external compliance audits to third-party vendor assessments.
