Water & Wastewater Facilities Cybersecurity
Protect critical water infrastructure from cyber threats with purpose-built OT security solutions for water treatment and distribution systems.
Water and wastewater utilities face unique cybersecurity challenges across distributed treatment facilities, SCADA networks, and critical operational systems. Dragos delivers specialized OT security to protect public health and safety.
Comprehensive cybersecurity platform designed specifically for water and wastewater operational environments.
Leading water utilities trust Dragos for industrial cybersecurity because we understand both the technology and operational requirements unique to water systems.
including real-time intelligence on emerging adversaries and attack techniques.
OT cybersecurity focuses on protecting operational systems that control physical processes like water
treatment and distribution. Unlike IT security, OT security must account for legacy protocols, real-time operations requirements, and safety-critical processes that cannot be disrupted.
Water utilities face threats from nation-state actors like BAUXITE targeting critical infrastructure, ransomware groups seeking operational disruption, and hacktivists exploiting exposed SCADA systems. Common attack vectors include vulnerable remote access points and unpatched industrial devices.
The EPA’s cybersecurity guidelines emphasize risk assessment, asset management, and incident response planning. Dragos solutions help utilities meet these requirements through comprehensive asset visibility, threat detection, and documented security procedures.
Yes, Dragos solutions are designed for passive deployment that monitors network traffic without
interfering with operational systems. Implementation can occur during planned maintenance windows with minimal operational impact.
Immediately activate incident response procedures, isolate affected systems if safe to do so, notify appropriate authorities including EPA and Water-ISAC, and engage cybersecurity experts familiar with water infrastructure operations.
