Cybersecurity for Water Utilities with Dentons Partner Kyle Miller


Listen Later

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  • The regulation that wasn’t in 2023 (U.S. EPAs withdrawn regulation)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
    • Resources and links mentioned in or relevant to this session include:

      • Kyle’s LinkedIn page
      • Kyle’s bio on Dentons’ website
      • CISA website
