Introduction to Cybersecurity: Workshop and Response Exercise
NEW! Training presented by the New Jersey Water Association – April 10, 2015, Monroe Township, Middlesex County
Cybersecurity threats are real and they are here to stay. For example, a hacker penetrated the network of a water filtration plant in
Pennsylvania. The intruder then planted malicious software that targeted the plant’s water treatment operations. So what can be
done about this threat?
To help answer that question, the U.S. EPA is sponsoring a free, one-day workshop and response exercise to teach water utilities
more about the cyber threat, ways to manage the threat, and tools (such as AWWA’s cybersecurity tool) available to help utilities. In
addition, current results from several Virginia waterworks cyber assessments will be presented to share lessons learned. Tips to
improve cybersecurity will also be given.
In the afternoon, a facilitated response exercise will be conducted presenting a realistic cyber threat scenario, allowing all
participants to talk through the actions they would take in response to the threat. The goal is to identify general planning or
procedural gaps in cybersecurity practices that can then be corrected.
