Listen " Cybersecurity for Water Utilities with Dentons Partner Kyle Miller "
Episode Synopsis
Dave’s law partner at Dentons, Kyle Miller, is a cybersecurity and data privacy lawyer who provides a tremendous discussion on a wide range of cybersecurity issues for water utilities. Water utilities (and all critical infrastructure providers) will find Kyle’s in-depth knowledge and experience on cybersecurity and data privacy issues well worth the time investment.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
Kyle’s background in cybersecurity and information technology before becoming a data privacy and cybersecurity lawyer
Recent cybersecurity incidents involving water utilities
Traditional profit-based cyber attacks and the rise of politically motivated attacks
The reasons why utilities have difficulty with cybersecurity
Why some utilities have a false sense of security over cybersecurity
The cybersecurity vulnerabilities present in utilities
Why the integration of information systems and operations systems presents a risk
The regulation that wasn’t in 2023 (U.S. EPAs withdrawn regulation)
The legal requirements of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act that utilities need to be aware of
Why utilities need to know the applicable regulations in advance (because you won’t have time to look them up during an incident)
Two important members of the acronym soup of cybersecurity:
CISA: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency
NIST: National Institute for Standards and Technology
Kyle’s terrific “leave behind” message for water utilities on cybersecurity
