Trustee flags SCADA issue and cybersecurity risk for water system upgrade
Summary
Trustees discussed a recent vendor invoice and notes that referenced disabling secure boot on the SCADA system; they agreed to have staff/contractors explain the security implications amid new state cybersecurity rules for water systems.
Trustee (Speaker 2) raised concerns about a recent service call on the water SCADA system and a line in the vendor language that mentioned disabling secure boot. The trustee asked whether that step created a security risk; noting the regulatory context, he said, "the state just today today put in the register the whole new cybersecurity laws for all of the water systems."
Trustees agreed to have Pete (staff/contractor) provide details and to schedule any necessary upgrades. The board recorded that they received a quote from a vendor (Avanti) for the needed work; the transcript records the quote line ambiguously and staff will confirm the vendor estimate and any security implications before authorizing work.
