In today’s digital age, the security of critical infrastructure has never been more important. Recent cyberattacks have highlighted the vulnerabilities in our essential systems, from water treatment facilities to internet service providers. As these threats continue to evolve, it’s crucial for organizations to stay ahead of the curve. Here are five key insights from the latest critical infrastructure cyberattacks and how READY can help protect your organization.

A recent cyberattack on a small city’s water treatment facility forced the system to switch to manual operations. While there was no disruption to service, the incident underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. READY offers advanced monitoring and response solutions to ensure your water treatment systems remain secure and operational.
2. CISA Warnings on Water and Wastewater Systems
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued warnings about attacks targeting water and wastewater systems. These attacks often exploit vulnerabilities in operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS). READY provides comprehensive security assessments and tailored protection strategies to safeguard your OT and ICS environments.
3. ISP Attacks
