CISA Told Water Plants and Power Grids to Prepare for Total Internet Disconnection. That Is Not a Drill Scenario Anymore.

CISA published guidance on May 5 telling water utilities, power grids and transport operators to start planning for scenarios where they lose internet access entirely during a geopolitical conflict. The initiative is called CI Fortify and its core message is that connections to cloud services, telecommunications providers and third-party vendors should now be treated as potential liabilities in a crisis rather than guaranteed infrastructure. This is not a niche directive for large US operators. The principles apply to any organisation running operational technology on internet-connected systems.
