This defense in depth discussion scenario is an intentional cybersecurity attack on the water utility's SCADA system. It occurs during the fall after a dry summer in Fringe City. The water utility's Information Technology (IT) person did not receive an expected pay raise and decides to reprogram the SCADA system to shut off the high-lift pumps.

In addition, he prevents access to the SCADA system by others. A wildfire breaks out on the outskirts of the city. Please identify what type(s) of new countermeasures should have been implemented to prevent this cyber attack from occurring.
