AWWA Supports Introduction of Collaborative Cybersecurity Legislation

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) supports the introduction of collaborative cybersecurity legislation. This initiative aims to strengthen the security of critical infrastructures, particularly water distribution systems. The legislation proposes measures to improve collaboration among various stakeholders, including government agencies and private companies. The goal is to better protect industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technologies (OT) against cyber threats. The legislation includes provisions for information sharing and the establishment of security standards.
