At the same time, cyberattacks can increase the risks for a failure of these critical infrastructures. However, aspects of cybersecurity are not yet sufficiently addressed in the water sector. Corresponding regulations and measures solely aim at the reliability of the infrastructures and neglect the security of supply for the population. Policy attention to large water utilities and supply areas ignores security gaps in small and medium-sized enterprises. Cooperations between several water utilities could be a suitable means of generating synergy effects in this respect.}, number={1}, journal={TATuP - Zeitschrift für Technikfolgenabschätzung in Theorie und Praxis}, author={Zimmermann, Martin and Schramm, Engelbert and Ebert, Björn}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={37–43} }
