Tech Perspectives: What is the State of Cyber Risk in the Water Sector?

Water utilities are on heightened alert for cyber attacks, so Water Finance & Management chatted with Marty Edwards, Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Operational Technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) for Tenable. Edwards gave recent testimony in Congress, appearing as a witness before in February before the House Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection. The hearing discussed the increased cyber threats targeting the water sector and the strategy Congress should support to protect water and wastewater systems.
