EPA, WaterISAC caution utilities on drone threats and cyber risks in evolving security landscape. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and WaterISAC recognized that UASs (unmanned aerial systems), or drones, can pose significant threats to critical infrastructure, due to their accessibility, versatility, and potential for misuse. These threats can range from unauthorized surveillance, physical attacks, and even cyber attacks. Drones have revolutionized the critical infrastructure sector by enabling efficient and cost-effective inspections, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing safety risks associated with hazardous environments, while providing real-time data and high-resolution imagery, allowing for more accurate monitoring and maintenance of infrastructure assets, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
UK NPSA: Security Fences and Gates. Fences, along with integrated gates, play a key role in delivering security solutions both for perimeters and protecting important assets. This guidance is intended to aid those responsible for delivering security solutions including fences and gates to identify the factors that need to be considered. NPSA wish to advise that fences and gates are no longer tested to the Manual Forced Entry Standard (MFES). As a result, all fences and gates which were previously given an MFES rating have been removed from the Catalogue of Security Equipment. This document provides advice on the requirements for security fences and gates and signpost alternative security standards that should be considered. Please use the NPSA Forced Entry Standards Guidance1 to assist you. NPSA Forced Entry Standard 2024
