Cybersecurity threats targeting water and wastewater utilities are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Industrial control systems, chemical treatment processes, and water flow operations remain high-value targets, and the regulatory and operational pressure on utilities to address these vulnerabilities continues to grow.
Wunderlich-Malec will be at WATERCON 2026, April 14–16 in Peoria, Illinois, to discuss how utilities can take a structured, practical approach to closing those gaps.

Stop by booth #234 to connect with Greg Manning and Mark Riehm and learn about WM’s Fast Track to Cybersecurity Compliance program. The program is designed to help water and wastewater utilities quickly assess cyber risks and strengthen IT/OT infrastructure in alignment with the Water Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (WCAT).
Mark Riehm will also be presenting on April 14th:
“The Importance of Defensible Architecture in Water/Wastewater Cybersecurity”
The session covers how utilities can build network architectures that are resilient by design, not just compliant on paper.
