Like a guardian angel to keep water flowing through critical infrastructure

2022-06-02

As the water supply system becomes more digitalised, cyberthreats are increasing. It is time for an all-hazard risk management and mitigation system.

Like a guardian angel to keep water flowing through critical infrastructure

Water is essential for life, health and economies. Water infrastructure is prone to physical threats, including natural hazards, terrorist attacks and accidents, and increasing cyberthreats that are leveraging expanded digitalisation and automation.

The EU-funded STOP-IT project brought together 23 partners from across Europe and Israel to address this pressing need. Its resulting holistic, modular and scalable platform supports strategic and tactical planning, real-time operational decision-making and post-action assessment regarding cyber, physical and combined cyber-physical threats to water infrastructures.

A complicated and changing waterscape, a holistic solution

“Although promising conceptual and technological solutions for water systems security and resilience were available, work was required to bring them together in an overarching risk management framework, strengthen the water utilities’ systematic protection of their systems, determine gaps in security technologies, and improve risk management approaches and technologies,” explains Rita Ugarelli, chief scientist at SINTEF AS and STOP-IT coordinator.

The STOP-IT platform includes technological solutions and analysis tools. Strategic and tactical tools enable simulations of customised attack scenarios to assess the service disruption risk and the effectiveness of risk reduction measures. Extensive near-real-time or real-time operational tools detect anomalies such as jamming attacks, physical intrusions, abnormal behaviours, and loss of data availability and integrity, and they assign risk severity indicators to assist in prioritising mitigation.

Since new digital systems and devices for water systems require new types of expertise, the project developed tailor-made training material for specific end users within the water utilities’ risk management circle. Water utilities involved in the project are already using some of the STOP-IT solutions and training material.
