"New York Water System Audit Finds Cybersecurity Flaws"

An audit of the New York water system by the New York State Comptroller's Office revealed cybersecurity flaws associated with policies and procedures. State-hired technology experts discovered vulnerabilities that could have been exploited by hackers to infiltrate the city of Middelton's networked water system. According to a report from the New York State Comptroller, policies and procedures did not cover the security duties to be performed by technology employees, the proper usage of portable devices by employees, or the continuous monitoring of devices connected to the networked water system. The audit also called for the implementation of security awareness training for employees. Jacob Tawil, commissioner of public works for the city, said these flaws will be addressed. This article continues to discuss findings from the New York water system audit.
