EPA cybersecurity leaders Douglas Vick and David Travers break down what the threat is to the nation's water systems and how two programs are helping mitigate risks and ensure water services operate without disruption. Additionally, the officials highlight some of the new tools that are helping the agency boost overall cyber resiliency across its workforce.
