Forescout joins Project Watershed 250 to strengthen water utility cybersecurity with OT capabilities

Forescout Technologies is joining Project Watershed 250, a White House and State of Texas initiative to improve cybersecurity defenses at water and wastewater utilities. The program will provide participating utilities with asset visibility, vulnerability assessment, network segmentation, and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered monitoring capabilities tailored to complex industrial control system (ICS) environments. The effort aims to establish a scalable model for protecting critical water infrastructure, particularly benefiting smaller and rural operators with limited security resources.

Why it matters: Water utility operators and their IT teams need to evaluate whether Project Watershed 250 offers access to the threat assessment and operational technology (OT) monitoring capabilities required to detect and contain attacks targeting treatment systems and distribution networks before they cause physical harm or service disruption.
