Episode Details

A new initiative called the Water Watch Center is launching to shield America’s smaller, under-resourced water utilities from cyber threats—especially after fears of a potential nation-state attack. Designed for the 91% of community systems serving under 10,000 people, it offers affordable managed detection and response services through a network of vetted providers sharing intelligence via the National Rural Water Association. Vanderbilt University is also developing AI-powered digital twins to test and refine automated defenses before real-world deployment. This collaborative effort blends tech innovation, threat-sharing, and volunteer support to strengthen national water infrastructure—but local leaders still must handle critical operational decisions.
