WaterISAC is excited to announce the inaugural product of a new resource series - Physical Security Case Studies.

Thanks to the generosity of utilities (like you) that are willing to share their experiences anonymously, we have started a collection of physical security case studies that can help all water and wastewater utilities learn from their peers and enhance the sector’s overall security and resilience.

These case studies are intended to provide concise descriptions of past physical security incidents or suspicious activities occurring at water and wastewater utilities. Each case study includes a brief overview, a description of incidents or suspicious activities, the impact to the utility, the utility’s response, and the lessons learned. Moreover, this information will help keep the sector and partners apprised of the ongoing threats that face water and wastewater utilities. Helping to inform best practices and the prioritization of preparedness measures that can prove critical to prevention, mitigation, and response efforts.

We plan to expand the collection over time and welcome any utility that wants to share their experience to contact us. Please email analyst@waterisac.org with any information, experiences, or questions.
