Republican AGs in Arkansas, Iowa and Missouri this week asked a federal appeals court to overturn the Biden administration’s new cybersecurity regulations for water facilities, calling the requirements overly burdensome and a violation of state sovereignty
Republican attorneys general in Arkansas, Iowa and Missouri this week asked a federal appeals court to overturn the Biden administration’s new cybersecurity regulations for water facilities, calling the requirements overly burdensome and a violation of state sovereignty. It’s one of the biggest legal challenges yet to the Biden administration’s embrace of regulation to raise the cyber defenses of vulnerable critical infrastructure providers.
The move was aimed at a sprawling US water sector, which includes more than 148,000 public water systems and has sometimes struggled with funding and personnel protect systems. But in their petition to the US Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit, the Arkansas, Iowa and Missouri attorneys general argue that the new regulations circumvent state authorities and reinterpret federal statute that does not apply to cybersecurity.
