Water cannot stop because a controller is exposed or a remote connection is weak. Across treatment plants, pumping stations, reservoirs and remote facilities, a cyber incident can interrupt the ability to see, control and recover the physical process.
WHY THIS "OT CYBER RESILIENCE FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE" CHALLENGE?
Every connection can affect the physical process.

Water and wastewater organizations depend on distributed OT ecosystems that include telemetry systems, PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations and third-party maintenance connections. The leadership issue is not how many controls to add. It is which attack scenarios could disrupt treatment, pumping, distribution or remote operations, and which measures reduce that risk most effectively. Common weaknesses include exposed OT services, weak or default credentials, uncontrolled remote access, insufficient segmentation and limited visibility.

NTTデータのサポート体制は?

01
Build evidence and operational context

Combine documentation review, site walkdowns, asset discovery, passive network analysis and communication-flow review to show what is connected, how the process depends on it and where exposure exists.

02
Translate technical weakness into operational risk

Use scenario-based assessment aligned with ISA/IEC 62443, organizing assets into zones and conduits, assessing credible attack paths and consequences, and defining target Security Levels where appropriate.

03
Design controls around risk reduction

Turn findings into a prioritized roadmap spanning defensible architecture, segmentation, secure remote access, identity and privileged access, hardening, vulnerability management, endpoint protection, backups and secure IT and OT integration.

04
Move from design into operation

Support implementation, validation and transition into continuous monitoring, SOC integration, threat intelligence, incident response, DFIR, cyber exercises and measurable improvement plans.

05
Scale with traceability and human accountability

Use OT Assessment Hub to centralize field evidence, assets, architecture, findings, scenarios, target Security Levels, controls and action plans. AI-assisted analysis can support correlation across configurations, documentation and evidence, while expert review retains accountability.

実証済みの効果
Impact requires evidence, not inference

The source defines a clear path from field evidence to risk reduction, but it provides no named deployment, baseline, time period or measured outcome. Approved case evidence is required before these outcomes can be presented as proven.
