The EPA urgently needs to develop a national strategy to address cyber risks in the water sector, with scarce resources and lack of cyber hygiene posing significant challenges.
Recent cyberattacks on the water sector by Iranian, Chinese, and Russian hackers highlight the pressing need for improved cybersecurity measures, despite sector resistance to regulatory mandates.
The GAO criticizes the EPA for lacking a sector-wide risk assessment and a risk-informed strategy, hindering the agency's ability to effectively guide the water sector in mitigating cyber risk.
