AGENDA
The urgent need to mitigate risks and threats to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) has led the water sector to collaborate with government leaders on an integrated security strategy. A critical component of this effort is equipping utility personnel with the requisite ability to identify, defend against, and reduce the risk from cyber attack.

The Water Sector Coordinating Council (WSCC) is hosting a series of workshops designed specifically to improve the knowledge and skills of U.S.-based water sector utility employees who are responsible for control system security. The Department of Homeland Security’s Control Systems Security Program will present the workshop training and discuss security products that are available for use by water sector asset owners and operators. These one-day events will include:
• A briefing on WSCC’s Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Water Sector
• An overview of cyber risks and threats to utility-based ICS
• Concrete and easy to understand mitigation strategies for securing ICS
• Demonstration and instruction on the Department of Homeland Security’s mitigation and self assessment tools

The Water Sector Coordinating Council is comprised of water and wastewater utilities and other associations representing the water sector. WSCC serves as a policy, strategy, and coordination mechanism for advising U.S. EPA and the Department of Homeland Security. WERF is a founding member association.
