Water Security Summit 2026
Building adversary-agnostic security for human-driven threats. One day of case studies, national standards, utility panels, and federal briefings for the water sector.
A Modern Security Framework for Water Utilities
Human-driven threats to critical water infrastructure, including physical attack, insider threats, drone incursions, cyber-physical disruption, and accidental incidents, happen unexpectedly. The Water Security Summit 2026 focuses on adversary-agnostic security: shifting away from probability-based "check the box" assessments to measurable risk and resilience architecture.
Hosted by the InfraGard Denver Members Alliance, the summit brings together water utilities, consultants, security practitioners, engineers, and federal partners for an information packed one day event at Tri-State Generation & Transmission headquarters.
