Main Topics:
EPA, WaterISAC caution utilities on drone threats and cyber risks in evolving security landscape. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and WaterISAC recognized that UASs (unmanned aerial systems), or drones, can pose significant threats to critical infrastructure, due to their accessibility, versatility, and potential for misuse. These threats can range from unauthorized surveillance, physical attacks, and even cyber attacks. Drones have revolutionized the critical infrastructure sector by enabling efficient and cost-effective inspections, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing safety risks associated with hazardous environments, while providing real-time data and high-resolution imagery, allowing for more accurate monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure assets, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
