ATHENA

The water sector is fragile. Digitisation is creating a new, increased risk in operational technology. Risk awareness of digital threats in operational technology is relatively low, while the impact of a cyber-attack on operational technology is potentially immense. To deal with this fragility, ATHENA was created. ATHENA aims to uptake innovative solutions through co-creation, implementation and embedding of targeted competence upskilling modules. ATHENA is no abbreviation, but a reference to Athena, one of the twelve most important Gods of Olympus, and the goddess associated with wisdom, craftsmanship and warfare. A suitable name for this cyber resilience project. ATHENA is a Digital Europe Project, co-funded by the European Union.
