New Dragos Report Highlights Threats Targeting Water & Wastewater Systems in the GCC
Summary: Dragos published a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Water & Wastewater Systems Cyber Threat Perspective describing cyber threats currently targeting water and wastewater systems in the region. The report notes that GCC water and wastewater organizations account for around 60% of the world's desalinated water, and that Dragos tracks six threat groups plus various ransomware groups impacting GCC industrial organizations.
Why it matters: The region's residents depend on desalination for drinking water, and the sector also draws energy from oil and natural gas - the same sector where tracked threat groups have already caused documented effects, so a disruptive attack on water systems carries consequences that reach well beyond the plant floor.
