"SigaGuard provides security in the operational information layer (Level 0), which is not subject to external manipulations and is, therefore, the most suitable level for defending water utilities," the report said, noting the company's cybersecurity solutions also deal with ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure, which are now an even more common threat.
SIGA CEO Amir Samoiloff told Globes that "water utilities are at the forefront of global cyberattacks, but utilities have minimal tolerance for downtime in service. SIGA has the most suitable solution to deal with this threat, from both the cyber capability and operational standpoint. Our solution is simple, easy to install and is focused on Level 0 monitoring - the level where the sensors and actuators of the water infrastructure are located."
