But as more industries leverage OT, they must contend with new cybersecurity concerns. New vulnerabilities, as well as new regulations developed to manage these vulnerabilities, mean organizations must adjust their business practices and develop solutions to navigate increasing cybersecurity risks before it’s too late.

Such is the case for a new program focused on reinforcing American dams and levees, which is led by researchers at the University of Kansas and U.S. federal agencies. The objective is to develop repairs and retrofits with concrete dams in the United States. These New Deal-era dams and levees aren’t just showing their age; several have experienced catastrophic failures in recent years due to disrepair. In 2005, New Orleans’ levees were breached with disastrous results during Hurricane Katrina, while levees in South Carolina were…
