# **The New Standard for Industrial Water Systems: Industry 4.0 and Hybrid Workforces**

Water/wastewater facilities are going through a revolution, industry 4.0, bringing
network connectivity and big data to critical infrastructure that was once operated
with mechanical switches and an on-site only workforce. 

With technology becoming engrained in critical infrastructure operations, the workforce
operating them is changing. The new mix of your organization includes:

 * Both on-prem and hybrid employees
 * Specialized contractors for task based work
 * Third party organizations supporting you
 * Vendors requiring remote access to their industrial control systems

These users all need access to your on-premise industrial control systems, which
may also be located in geographically distant locations. Common practices for remote
access often means paving a direct highway into your network for threat actors and
cyber breaches – This is how the colonial pipeline attack happened – resulting in
major fuel shortages and serving as a cybersecurity wakeup call for critical infrastructure.

Join Agilicus on **Thursday, August 28 at 1pm ET** as we discuss the complex challenges
of allowing remote connectivity to industrial control systems on wastewater treatment
facility networks. 

 * Enable your workforce to securely access on-prem systems from anywhere with a
   modern security standard
 * Move away from a single layer of security approach
 * Empower your users to get their work done on any device from a web browser
 * Block lateral traversal to prevent threat actors from moving around your network
   by segmenting each resource
