To date, acknowledged cyberattacks have not inspired action in the water sector as much as experts in national security and cybercrime believe is needed. Moreover, the risks that cybersecurity gaps pose to core water system functions do not appear to be adequately recognized.</p><p>The attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, led to a heavy emphasis on physical security solutions. While needed, this emphasis occurred to the detriment of needs related to cybersecurity and preparedness. The physical security improvements provided multiple benefits, but opportunities were missed to make similar investments for building resilience to sustain water systems’ continuity of service. The 2018 amendments to §1433 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) intended to correct this imbalance by requiring systems to evaluate threats from both malevolent acts and natural hazards, recognizing that the latter have a significantly higher likelihood of occurring in any given day or year.</p><p>Today, there is nearly a 100% probability that every water system, regardless of type or size, is at risk of such attacks. Consequently, adequate prioritization of cybersecurity risk management is essential to utility leadership meeting their fiduciary duty to their ratepayers.</p><p>Beyond this obligation, there are legal “motivators” to act responsibly. SDWA §1433 obligates covered systems to consider cyberthreats to the full gamut of information and operational technology deployed. Section 1433 goes on to require covered systems to have “strategies and resources to improve the resilience of the system.” This statutory expectation applies to both physical security and cybersecurity.</p><p>AWWA's cybersecurity guidance and assessment tool have provided a structured approach tailored to identifying what cyber vulnerabilities have the highest priority based on how a system uses technology. Recent revisions provide an updated approach that begins with cybersecurity fundamentals—“the first mile”—that will provide the most immediate risk-reduction value to systems where those measures are not already implemented.</p><p>AWWA's <i>State of the Water Industry Report</i> demonstrates that awareness of cyberthreats is higher than it has ever been, rising in the past several years to consistently rank in the top 10 utility manager concerns. Progress indeed, but not enough to convince various federal decision makers that enough has been done. There are recurring calls for greater regulatory oversight and enforcement by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or states. AWWA and partners are supporting policy initiatives designed to provide a sound footing for sensible, risk-based cybersecurity measures in the sector that include additional funding, technical assistance, and enhanced information-sharing.</p><p>AWWA also supports H.R. 2594, the Water Risk and Resilience Organization (WRRO) Establishmen","PeriodicalId":14785,"journal":{"name":"Journal ‐ American Water Works Association","volume":"117 5","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/awwa.2447","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
