Water is a nation's most precious everyday resource. Without water there is no sanitation, agriculture, industry or food production - in other words, no life. National water networks are responsible for supplying consumers across the width and breadth of a country with water from a range of different sources, spanning vast areas. Stretching over multiple infrastructures, most of their customers are small water companies. National networks work alongside many different water authorities and face a plethora of extremely challenging threats.

The Challenges

• Vast network of water sources, infrastructures and pipes, difficult to secure at every point.
• Millions of cubic metres of water running through the system every day.
• Multiple sites increase opportunities for unauthorized access and attack.
• Cyber attacks are one of the world's major threat. The effects of a cyber attack on a water system could be devastating.
• Sensitivity to earthquakes.
• Pipe networks pass through different authorities making communication between them vital.
• The need for a common language - both internally and externally - in the event of an emergency.
• The first in a long chain of water suppliers.
• Managed by many different public bodies with different security outlooks.
