Don’t Delay! – MITRE’s NO-COST Research Proposal for Water and Wastewater Cyber Resilience

As originally heard during WaterISAC’s July Cyber Threat Briefing, MITRE is extending an offer to 5 water or wastewater utilities to participate in its NO-COST research project that will aid in gaining valuable insights into your OT environment. Don’t delay! MITRE is looking to finalize the participants before the end of August.

The goal of this project is to:

  • Apply MITRE’s Threat-based Cyber Resiliency Analysis (based on ATT&CK® for ICS) to OT management architectures at a water treatment plant to identify and mitigate unrecognized and under-appreciated cyber risk.
  • Develop guidance on operational mitigations supporting both local and remote management operations (partner utilities will be provided tailored guidance).

To participate or to find out more about this program, contact MITRE. Likewise, members are encouraged to listen to the recording of July’s Cyber Threat Briefing. During the session, MITRE and one of your water utility peers discussed this program and some of the findings and key takeaways observed after undertaking this project at their utility.
