Managing vulnerabilities can feel like the end of the first act of Les Misérables as you sing to yourself, “one day more, another day another vulnerability.” Like Jean Valjean, you attempt to put up barricades to protect your environment from attackers exploiting these security weaknesses.

In 2023 alone, there were over 3,200 reported cyberattacks, with over 350 million victims in the United States. That’s not to mention the undetected or failed attacks by these cybercriminals, both external and internal, to get access to sensitive data and customers’ Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

What does occur to me is the possibility of a cyberattack on our water system.
