Discussion

For  discussion board assignment, there is an intentional cybersecurity  attack on the water utility’s SCADA system. It occurs during the fall  after a dry summer in the city of Rockdale. The water utility’s  Information Technology (IT) person did not receive an expected pay raise  and decided to reprogram the SCADA system to shut off the high-lift  pumps. The operator’s familiarity with the SCADA system allows him to  reprogram the alarms that typically notify operators of a high-lift pump  failure. In addition, he prevented access to the SCADA system by  others. A brush fire is also in progress on the outskirts of the city.  As the new and experienced information manager identify what type(s) of  new countermeasures should have been implemented to prevent this  cyber-attack from occurring.
