City wins $50,000 cybersecurity assessment grant for 2005 water plant
Summary
Staff said Hudson received a $50,000 cybersecurity assessment grant to test control-system vulnerabilities at the water plant built in 2005, with the goal of applying for hardware upgrades from state funding partners after the assessment.
Staff member told the committee the water plant—constructed in 2005—was awarded a $50,000 cybersecurity assessment grant to hire a firm to probe system vulnerabilities and recommend hardware upgrades. "We are the recipient of a $50,000 cybersecurity assessment grant," the staff member said.
The assessment will identify control- and SCADA-related vulnerabilities; staff said the findings will support subsequent applications to the Department of Health or EFC for equipment replacement and PLC/SCADA upgrades. Committee members accepted the update and noted further steps will include procurement and scope definition once the assessment completes.
