Endress+Hauser to address water sector cybersecurity at WoTS 2026

Endress+Hauser will address cybersecurity within the water sector at the WoTS 2026 event in Utrecht. As digitalization increases connectivity between instruments, platforms, and processes, the risks to digital security grow.

Water management and drinking water facilities are classified as vital infrastructure and fall under the European NIS2 directive. This requires organizations to conduct risk assessments of IT and OT systems, implement technical and organizational measures, and establish incident response plans. Cybersecurity is increasingly critical for engineers and operators, as attacks on process automation could impact pump functionality or water quality, threatening the continuity of the water supply.
