WATER TREATMENT FACILITY
The Work
Water treatment facilities are part of every nation's critical infrastructure. Ensuring their protection from internal and external cyber risks is vital for efficient operation and continued access to water.

The Challenge
While the IIoT improves efficiency, it introduces various risks. Any connected device presents a potential cyber risk to the system. The most significant risk to a data-driven IIoT system is the data it relies on for automation, optimization, maintenance, or any other domain operation.
The Solution
Validating data intrinsically and its authenticity can mitigate risk in the decision system of a water treatment facility. By validating data whenever pragmatically possible, we can determine when and where risks were introduced for all individual channels in the system. Additionally, incorporating human-centered data labeling into the data acquisition system provides cyber-resilient operations and increased algorithmic reliability for all domain decisions.
