Water is one of Idaho’s most precious resources, and protecting our state’s water and wastewater systems is key to maintaining the health and safety of our communities. The State of Idaho is hosting the Idaho Water & Wastewater Sector Security Summit on June 17 in Boise to discuss emerging threats and share best practices for protecting these vital systems.

This full-day summit will bring subject matter experts from the government and private sector together to share industry best practices, lessons learned, and services available to protect Idaho’s most precious resource. Sessions will focus on strengthening cybersecurity, enhancing physical security, and building system resilience.

Key topics include:

• Protect water systems from digital threats and cybersecurity breaches targeting critical infrastructure.
• Best practices for hardening defenses to safeguard water and wastewater facilities from unauthorized access and disruptions.
• Participate in a hands-on workshop and tabletop exercise focused on using innovative technologies and strategies to increase the security and resilience of our systems.

This summit is open to both public and private sector water and wastewater professionals, emergency managers, and local government officials. Participants can register for either in-person or virtual attendance. Attendance is free of charge.

Please note: due to the sensitive nature of a session focused on emerging threats against water systems, that session will not be available to virtual attendees.
