Physical and Cybersecurity Training

July 29 - 30,  2025 - Radford, Virginia


This course will focus on physical security and cyber security, along with risk/hazard analysis. An emphasis will be placed on helping participants understand the physical and cyber security threats that water systems face today, the resources available to utilities and how the different resources assist during these types of events.  Included in the class is funding opportunities and options for utilities.  Agencies participating in the class include the FBI, EPA, CISA, WaterISAC, VDH-ODW, VDEM and the Fusion Center.  Table top exercises will be held to learn to both avoid these types of events from occurring at their facilities, and to handle these threats should they occur.
