This fall, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR), hosted a series of in-person trainings for water and wastewater system operators. These sessions introduced participants to cybersecurity tactics, vulnerabilities, common cyberattack methods, and the physical security aspects of cybersecurity. The workshops included discussion of the Missouri Water Safety and Security Act and featured a tabletop exercise designed to engage facilities in discussions that examine their current cyber-resilience.
These trainings were designed for managers, owners, and operators of community water and wastewater systems, as well as decision-makers, consultants, and technical assistance providers serving water and wastewater systems.
DNR is in the process of requesting approval for Operator Certification training credit for drinking water and wastewater operators that completed this training.
