Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is highlighting progress protecting water systems from cyberattacks in 2025. EPA's Office of Water (OW) proactively identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities at 277 water systems and worked to fix the issues with individualized solutions ranging from authentication protocols to enforcing strict access controls along with other technical updates and restrictions. Cyber weaknesses included critical system components, such as technologies that control drinking water and wastewater processes, that are attractive targets to potential threat actors. (Source: EPA)
