Enhanced Cybersecurity for Rural Water Systems
This act aims to improve the security of rural water systems serving fewer than 10,000 people. Thanks to this, residents in these areas can expect more reliable water supplies, as systems will be better protected against cyberattacks. This means a lower risk of water supply interruptions and greater security for data related to water infrastructure.
Key points
Technical assistance for rural water systems will now include cybersecurity support.
Smaller communities will receive help in assessing cyber threats and implementing protection plans.
Program funding increased to $32.5 million annually for 2024-2028, with $7.5 million per year allocated for cybersecurity.
