Summary

US critical infrastructure utilities, particularly smaller water, electric, and natural gas providers, face growing operational technology cyber risks from internet-connected devices, ransomware groups, state-sponsored actors, and AI-assisted attack methods, while often lacking sufficient funding, personnel, and technical expertise. In response, Accenture, Dragos, and the SANS Institute launched the Community Cyber Resilience Foundation on October 20, 2026, to provide free cybersecurity resources to as many as 500 under-resourced US utilities in its first phase, backed by an initial combined commitment of about $10 million in funding and services. Elastic supports the initiative as a technology partner, with Elasticsearch serving as the Dragos Platform’s log storage and search engine and Kibana helping users analyze security data. Eligible utilities with under $100 million in annual revenue can receive access to the Dragos Platform, deployment assistance, ICS/OT training, hardware funding, and a peer network, reflecting a broader call for collaboration among government agencies, industry partners, and security providers.
