Water Sector Physical Threat Briefing
April 15, 2026 2:00 pm
On April 15 at 2 pm ET, WaterISAC will convene the next event in its quarterly Water Sector Physical Threat Briefings series. Presenters from the Electricity-ISAC, the Public Transportation & Over-the-Road Bus-ISAC, and the Communications-ISAC will detail the physical security threats facing their respective sectors. The water and wastewater sector is dependent upon other critical lifeline functions—including the energy, transportation, and communications sectors—to ensure continuous and reliable operations to the communities it serves. In recent years, physical threats, plots, and attacks against these critical infrastructure sectors have notably increased. To help us understand these threats, WaterISAC is excited to host a cross-sector panel of ISAC analysts as they break down the increasingly complex physical threat environment critical infrastructure organizations face. Hear from Sofia Weir, Sr Physical Security Analyst with Electricity-ISAC and Stephanie Woods, Lead Advisory with National Security and Emergency Preparedness as they provide an overview of the threats posed by different malicious actors, from domestic violent extremists and foreign terrorist organizations to common criminals and insiders. They will also discuss these actors’ tactics, which have been demonstrated in real-world incidents and discussed in extremist publications and online forums. With a widening range of threat actors targeting critical infrastructure organizations for a variety of malicious purposes, now more than ever it is crucial to understand the heightened threat environment.
Water Sector Cyber Resilience Briefing- The Societal Consequences of Cyber Incidents on Water Systems
April 22, 2026 2:00 pm
When a cyber disruption impacts a water system, the effects extend far beyond operations—they shape public perception, trust, and response in real time. Join us to better understand the human side of cyber disruptions and how water utilities can strengthen trust when it matters most. This webinar explores how communities react in the critical hours following a high-profile water sector cyber incident, using real-world data. By analyzing social media conversations, researchers reveal how narratives form rapidly, how emotions evolve, and what utilities can expect from the public during moments of uncertainty. Discover how public sentiment shifts from confusion and humor to concern and accountability, and what that means for communication strategies, stakeholder engagement, and resilience planning.
