Securing water utilities with AWS
A Bluefield research interview with Nick Nedostup and Amazon web service
Abstract
As water utilities across the United States increasingly turn to cloud-based IT and OT solutions, the potential for improved operational efficiency and enhanced cybersecurity continues to grow. This white paper highlights the key factors driving cloud adoption in the water industry, examines current cybersecurity trends, and shares practical guidance for implementing effective security measures.
Developed in collaboration with Bluefield Research, an independent firm specializing in water market intelligence, this resource offers expert insights, real-world lessons, and actionable recommendations for utilities considering cloud technologies. It also outlines how AWS and its partners support utilities of all sizes in addressing cybersecurity challenges, leveraging established frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
