Cyber Threats to U.S. Water Supply?
How are they able to do this?
What risks were accepted to allow these attacks on our critical infrastructure?
Did we focus on just compliance or security?
What is the upgrade process for legacy and archaic systems?
Unlike IT systems, critical infrastructure is far behind in protections and trainings to prepare for and mitigate cyber attacks. In cyber warfare, protecting these targeted systems, the difference is literally a matter of life and death. Focusing on our businesses is tedious, and we don’t need to constantly worry about other companies, especially critical infrastructure. Let us remember what happened at the beginning of the COVID lockdown.
The urgency of implementing robust cybersecurity measures becomes clear in this context. Safeguarding our critical infrastructure from both domestic and foreign threats is paramount. Kicking the “cyber can” down the road is no longer an option. The time has come for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies that ensure the resilience of our essential systems. By addressing these challenges head-on, we can fortify our critical infrastructure and better protect the well-being and security of our communities.
