The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) has partnered with the DEF CON offshoot, Water Security Research Consortium (WSRC), to establish the Water Watch Center. The NRWA is a trade organization representing 1,400 member water utilities. The WSRC is a non-profit organization focused on improving water security. The partnership aims to help water utilities address the growing threat of cyber attacks and improve their overall security posture.
The Water Watch Center will provide a range of services, including threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing. The center will also offer training and support to water utilities to help them better protect their systems. The NRWA and WSRC will work together to develop and implement best practices for water security, as well as provide resources and expertise to help utilities address specific security challenges.
The partnership is seen as a significant step forward in addressing the growing threat of cyber attacks on water utilities. The NRWA and WSRC believe that the Water Watch Center will play a critical role in helping water utilities improve their security posture and reduce the risk of cyber attacks.
The Water Watch Center will be based in the United States and will be staffed by experts from both the NRWA and WSRC.
