The Water Sector Coordinating Council describes itself as “a policy, strategy and coordination mechanism for the Water and Wastewater Sector in interactions with the government and other sectors on critical infrastructure security and resilience issues.”
The organization in April surveyed 606 individuals working at water and wastewater utilities in the U.S. to get a better understanding of the sector in terms of cybersecurity.
According to the report made public on June 17, 356 of respondents said they did not experience any IT security incident in the past year. Three respondents said they experienced 5 or more incidents and 83 reported 1-4 incidents in the last 12 months.
