Fend Incorporated will partner with (CS)2AI to help defend critical infrastructure, like water and energy utilities, from cyberattack.

ARLINGTON, VA, USA, March 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Fend Incorporated announced a new partnership with (CS)2AI to help defend critical infrastructure from cyberattack. Water utilities, energy providers, and manufacturers have become the focus of malicious activity by nation-state actors and criminals alike hoping to create havoc and hold our cities for ransom. These adversaries target the industrial control systems that run the machines that make modern life possible. By leveraging (CS)2AI’s resources and reaching its 20,000 members, Fend will be able to put technology and information in the hands of equipment operators and facility managers to fight back against this growing threat.

Fend CEO Colin Dunn said, “No one should be able to take away access to safe drinking water, reliable power, hospital services, or the refrigerated food and medicine we all rely on. Lives are on the line. Fend and (CS)2AI will work to ensure that cybersecurity professionals have the tools and training needed to stop these attacks.”

“We are excited about Fend Inc., joining (CS)2AI’s growing family of Strategic Alliance Partners. I believe that when leaders like Colin Dunn engage with organizations like ours they show they are taking the cyber security workforce problem seriously by supporting efforts to strengthen and grow the ranks of critical system defenders so essential to modern society.”

(CS)2AI will be hosting a webinar on March 31st at 1:00 pm EST for those looking to better understand how cybersecurity technology is advancing and what techniques can be used to harden defenses.
