The America’s Water Infrastructu re Act (AWIA) of 2018 required drinking water systems serving more than 3\ ,300 people to examine their system to develop risk and resilience assessm ents (RRAs) and emergency response plans (ERPs). One of the most notable r equirements was that electronic systems needed to consider cybersecurity t hreats\, which may not have been previously considered. This includes syst ems like industrial control systems (ICS)\, billing systems\, business net works\, etc. For small system owners\, an AWIA cybersecurity assessment ma y not have been comprehensive\, since the AWWA J100 standard used as the b asis for most RRAs tends to provide a high-level overview of critical asse ts. In many cases AWIA results provided a glimpse as to why system owners need to implement a comprehensive cybersecurity program. This roundtable w ill briefly discuss how we worked with a small water utility to prepare a preliminary cybersecurity program using a well-known cybersecurity framewo rk. \;
