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
