New Cybersecurity Circuit Rider

Vermont Rural Water is excited to share that we are one of just two states selected for the Cybersecurity Circuit Rider pilot program. This one-year study to enhance cybersecurity for rural water systems is a collaboration between the National Rural Water Association, the White House Office of the National Cyber Director, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Forest Anderson will be leading the pilot in Vermont. He can help with cybersecurity assessments at public water systems and provide advice, answer questions, address concerns, and help identify funding sources for cybersecurity projects. This assistance is free to eligible drinking water systems.

If you are interested in having Forest visit your water system for cybersecurity assistance, email info@vtruralwater.org.
