(Beaver County, PA) According to a release from Congressman Chris Deluzio’s office on Friday, Deluzio announced the introduction of his new bill, the Water Authority Cybersecurity Protection Act. The release states that this bill will help cybersecurity by increasing money and giving technology to water authorities that are local. Deluzio announced this after remembering that a hack from Iran temporarily shut down the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa last year. Thanks to this bill, a total of $25 million will go to responses after emergencies for local water authorities in the next two years. The release also notes that the bill will also assist in the improvement of automated and remote systems as well as to provide training programs for both resilience and security.
