Managerial Capacity-Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity continues to be an increasing threat to public water supplies. All water supplies should act to examine cyber security vulnerabilities and develop a cyber security risk management program. As part of this program, passwords should be routinely changed, software kept up to date, and regular screenings of security measures such as firewalls should be done.
