Water utilities group partners with DEF CON offshoot for Water Watch Center

The National Rural Water Association has partnered with a group of cybersecurity experts to create a program aimed at supporting water utilities that are struggling financially to defend against growing threats to their systems. This initiative is intended to help these utilities improve their cybersecurity posture. The partnership involves a group related to the DEF CON conference. The program is called the Water Watch Center. The goal is to assist cash-strapped utilities in addressing the increasing number of threats they face.
