Water and Wastewater Treatment

Secure your networks, protect your water quality.
In water and wastewater treatment plants, cybersecurity protects more than just infrastructure. It safeguards public health and the environment. In a context where reliability, regulatory compliance and service continuity are essential, securing OT systems is a strategic priority for both municipal and industrial operators.

An incident in a municipal OT network can:

Q

alter the quality of drinking water

cause uncontrolled overflow

q

damage critical equipment

Fortaress was designed to protect these infrastructures against digital threats without compromising their proper functioning.

Challenges.

1. Critical infrastructure and essential services

Fortaress helps with :

  • Strict access control: blocks unauthorized connections to critical systems.
  • OT network segmentation: isolates critical subsystems (pumping stations, SCADA, sensors) to limit the spread of an attack.
  • 24/7 monitoring (MDR OT): proactive detection of abnormal behavior or intrusion attempts.

      2. Distributed systems and remote sites

      Fortaress helps withc :

      • Unknown device identification: immediate alerts when a suspicious connection is detected at a remote site.
      • OT virtual patching: protects isolated equipment without requiring on-site intervention.
      • Integrated OT SIEM: centralizes security events from all sites in a single interface.

            3. Varied and outdated equipment

            Fortaress helps with:

            • Virtual patching for OT: protects legacy equipment or systems that cannot be patched without downtime or software updates.
            • OT IPS: blocks real-time attacks, even on unpatched systems.
            • OT application control: prevents the execution of unauthorized or uncertified software.

                    4. Regulatory compliance and public safety

                    Fortaress helps with :

                    • Attack surface reduction: segmentation, filtering, and access control reduce intrusion vectors.
                    • Logging (SIEM + logs): event traceability for audits and compliance.
                    • Bidirectional IT/OT monitoring: controls traffic between networks to prevent data leaks or intrusions.

                              5. Ensuring service availability and quality

                              Fortaress helps with:

                              • Gradual and non-disruptive deployment: no changes required to existing systems.
                              • Real-time protection: threats are blocked before they can affect operations.
                              • Non-intrusive architecture: no impact on PLCs or other critical equipment.

                                        Result

                                        Secure, resilient, and compliant water management, with a significant reduction in the risk of disruption to essential services.
