Join leaders from Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to examine recent cyber incidents affecting water utilities in Minnesota and across the nation. This free webinar will provide an up-to-date overview of the threat landscape and walk through real-world attack patterns targeting water systems, including why these systems are being targeted. You will also walk away with immediate, practical steps utilities can take to protect their environments, as well as what to do if you suspect you have been the target of a cyberattack. This includes guidance on incident reporting, state and federal resources, and opportunities for technical support to strengthen operational resilience.
While this webinar will focus on recent attacks on water systems, the information is also relevant to other city and governmental utility operations.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Gain a clear understanding of why water systems are being targeted.
- Learn key questions to ask your vendors and partners to ensure protections are in place.
- Identify common vulnerabilities in water systems, how attackers leveraged them, and what to do about them.
