Accenture, Dragos and SANS launch $10M Community Cyber Resilience Foundation for small US utilities
Accenture, Dragos and the SANS Institute launched the Community Cyber Resilience Foundation, committing about $10 million so eligible US water, wastewater, electric and natural-gas utilities with under $100M annual revenue (said to be ~97% of utilities) can get free Dragos OT cybersecurity tooling, Accenture deployment/support, and SANS ICS/OT training. Phase one covers up to 500 utilities; Elastic will help with technical scaling. No federal/state government involvement. Aimed at under-resourced operators after repeated water-utility intrusions and ongoing nation-state warnings.
