Dispel launched the Community Power & Water Program to provide small U.S. water and electric utilities with a fast, budget-friendly cybersecurity solution that secures remote access to critical infrastructure, addressing risks from exposed programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and default credentials exploited in recent cyberattacks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Government & Space.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your small utility no longer needs to wait months or hire cyber experts to start securing critical infrastructure. Dispel’s one-shift setup cuts your exposure to attacks that have already hit dozens of similar U.S. utilities this year.
