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.  Guidance can be found at:  https://www.epa.gov/waterresilience/cybersecurity-planning  In the event your system is hacked, immediately notify the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at 888-282-0870, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) at 1-800-782-7860, and your local FBI Field Office https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices  Further information on reporting cyber-attacks can be found at:  https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-02/230202-CyberIncidentReportingProcess_21118.pdf
