Siddharth reveals the true extent of Thames Water’s technical challenges: "The software we use is older than me, and some of the hardware is older than my dad." This statement powerfully illustrates the severe age of their IT infrastructure.
Sources describe Thames Water's situation as being on a "knife-edge," highlighting growing concerns about the resilience of the UK's largest water and waste treatment company. The antiquated systems contribute to this precarious state.
While much focus has been directed at Thames Water's physical infrastructure, Siddharth emphasizes, "less well understood is another big problem: its computer systems." This underscores a significant gap in recognizing IT system vulnerabilities.
With many IT systems dating back to the 1980s, the report emphasizes that these technologies have "long been declared obsolete," raising alarms for operational security and efficiency at Thames Water.
