As the country continues discussing the cyber incident which occurred at the Oldsmar Florida Water Treatment Plant on February 5, 2021, it is important to continue highlighting the need for information sharing across the sector. Michael Mimoso, Aperture’s host and Claroty Editorial Director invited Water ISAC Managing Director Michael Arceneaux and Cyber Threat Analyst Jennifer Lyn Walker to discuss the incident, how it underscores the need for better information-sharing about incidents, and improved security hygiene inside critical infrastructure sectors such as water and wastewater.
