💧 Water Security theater
Protects water security: cyberattacks on water and wastewater treatment OT, plus transboundary water conflict over rivers, dams, and aquifers. It matters because small, under-resourced utilities running exposed PLCs are soft targets whose compromise threatens public health, while upstream diversion fuels interstate tension.

📚 Priority sources & datasets
📜 Water Security Playbook
- Collect exposed HMI/PLC scan data (notably Unitronics and other internet-facing controllers) and utility-targeting actor indicators
- Enrich against known water-sector malware and default-credential/CVE exposure, and map transboundary basin stress with geospatial data
- Analyze intrusions for capability to alter chemical dosing or setpoints, and assess basin disputes for escalation potential
- Attribute cyber activity to IRGC-linked or state actors via toolmarks and hacktivist claims, and identify upstream state actions in water disputes
- Notify affected water utilities and sector ISACs with detections, hardening steps, and manual-override safeguards
- Coordinate remediation and threat hunting for cyber cases and feed diplomatic early warning for water-conflict flashpoints
