Federal agencies have been actively looking at cyber threats to critical infrastructure. In a January 27 announcement, the White House said it “will extend the Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Initiative to the water sector.” This builds on past activity by the Biden Administration to increase attention to critical infrastructure and industrial control systems, and contains elements that have been sought by policymakers, including network monitoring and information sharing.
While the White House announcement embraces a public private partnership model, myriad developments in the last year suggest that this collaborative bedrock of federal cyber policy is eroding.
