WaTech's state Office of Cybersecurity (OCS) team of cybersecurity experts, detect, block and respond to cyberattacks on state networks. The office helps prevent and mitigate threats before they can cause significant damage.

In addition, OCS works with state, local government and military agencies to build more secure networks and has teams that can respond on a moment's notice to help agencies deal with cyber threats.

OCS also is working to make everyone more aware of cyber threats through educational outreach, holding public forums and providing tips and advice about how to stay safe online.
