US unveils initiative to bolster water sector resilience against cyber attacks

Washington, Jan 27 (UNI/Sputnik) The Biden administration announced it is expanding an initiative to secure critical US infrastructure to the water sector in order to bolster resiliency against potential cyber attacks in the future, a senior US administration official told reporters.
This effort is part of the US administration's so-called Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity Initiative, which has already been applied to bolster cyber security technologies in the United States' electricity and natural gas pipeline infrastructure.
"It [initiative] has two primary goals: one is to promote the water sector's adoption of technologies that can provide early detection of cyber threats to industrial control systems, threats that could degrade critical operations at water sector facilities, and also to enhance the water sector's response to these threats," the US official said. "The second goal is to promote rapid sharing of cyber threat data with the US government in a protected environment."
