Upcoming Remote Access Regulation: How Zero Trust Prepares Your Water Infrastructure

Cyber threats against water facilities are increasing and becoming smarter. With AI backed threat actors and new network vulnerabilities being taken advantage of, the threat to water infrastructure is larger today than ever. These evolving cyber threats require a shift in cyber security measures across organizations to remain protected and mitigate threats. Government bodies are implementing strict cyber security mandates for public critical infrastructure to ensure best practices for cyber security and remote access.

The State of Maryland is mandating water facilities and critical infrastructure adopt strict cybersecurity policies for their remote access and network operations. States including New York, California, Texas, are quickly following suit.

Strict mandates mean many traditional methods of remote access (VPN, Jumpbox, Remote Desktop, etc) are being phased out by regulations because of their inherent security risks such as  lateral traversal, minimal authentication, and lack of privileged access management.

Explore how a Zero Trust Architecture enables your organization to meet and exceed the upcoming regulations, while also providing remote access that can increase the efficiency of how your users reach the critical systems they need.

• Allow any user to access what they need, with their existing emails, from anywhere with Single Sign-on and Multi-factor Authentication, even with unlike identity providers
• Stay ahead of the curve by meeting and exceeding upcoming cybersecurity regulations
• Keep remote access as a part of your operations without creating changes in user workflow
