Robust, Compliant Web Security for Water & Power Providers
Comprehensive, cloud-based protection for sites, applications, services, and APIs.
Stringent Requirements
Water & Power organizations have many web security challenges:
Data protection
Data protection is crucial for the water and power industries because these sectors provide essential services and are highly interconnected with national security, public safety, and economic stability.
IT availability
Web application security is more than just about protecting data—it’s about safeguarding the health, safety, and daily lives of the communities served. As the water & power industries are increasingly relying on digital tools to manage complex infrastructure, securing these applications is essential to preventing disruptions, maintaining public trust, and ensuring the continuity of critical services.
Online and application security
OT systems control physical processes involving heavy machinery and hazardous materials. A breach in these systems can have real-world consequences, such as power outages or chemical spills. If compromised, attackers could disrupt essential services, causing water shortages, contamination, or power outages, which would pose significant risks to public health and safety. Securing OT networks through a comprehensive, fully managed service is critical to maintaining operational continuity and safety.
Robust security posture
These industries operate complex networks of systems that control essential services. Any disruption, whether due to a cyberattack or data breach, could stop the delivery of clean water or power. Protecting data ensures that these services remain available, which is critical for both public health and daily life. Robust cybersecurity measures help minimize these risks by quickly identifying and mitigating threats before they cause widespread downtime. Traditional solutions, such as physical or virtual appliances, can be cumbersome and time-consuming to maintain, especially when IT resources are already limited.
Full compliance
These industries must comply with various regulations related to cybersecurity and data protection, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) guidelines and other regional or national mandates. Strong data protection measures ensure compliance, reducing the risk of penalties, legal liabilities, and operational shutdowns.
