The Dams Sector Waterside Barriers Guide, published by CISA, provides dam owners and operators with guidance on using waterside barriers to protect critical infrastructure from water-based threats such as swimmers, explosive-laden boats, and submerged devices. It outlines how to assess risk, integrate barriers into a broader security plan, and choose between barrier systems and technologies based on site-specific needs. Drawing lessons from both historical attacks and defense strategies, the guide emphasizes detection, delay, and interdiction capabilities, as well as the importance of proper maintenance. It serves as a comprehensive resource for strengthening physical security in the Dams Sector.
