Meet federal regulations for drinking water and wastewater facilities

Proactively disrupt attack vectors

Centralized, autonomously run drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) have replaced siloed process operations. Decisions in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are increasingly automated, and require a deep understanding and knowledge of system operations to pre-empt incidents.

Proactively find weak spots in your OT environment by using attack vectors, which identify from where an attack may be launched or a weakness taken advantage of. Find more threats by leveraging a combination of powerful threat detection engines, which alert potential incidents regardless of the source.

Inventory and track assets

Water facilities tend to have large infrastructures. Many different devices spread across a vast area and sometimes across several networks. Networks generally have multi-generations of devices in addition to a variety of makes and models. Your OT solution should be able to combine several discovery methods to create an updated asset inventory of your entire distributed environment.

Identify and score vulnerabilities

Due to the "always-on" requirement for DWTPs and WWTPs, when you discover a vulnerability it’s difficult to stop operations to perform routine maintenance or apply patches.

Instead, proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Drawing on comprehensive and detailed asset tracking capabilities, Tenable OT Security uses a Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR) that generates a score and triaged list of relevant threats. This is based on the specific equipment in your environment so you know what to fix first.

Know when change happens

Configuration control tracks malware and user-executed changes made over your network or directly to a device. This provides a full history of device configuration changes over time. It enables administrators to establish a backup snapshot with the "last known good state" for faster recovery and compliance with industry regulations.
