TP26-29 AI- Driven Cyber - Threats and Their Impact on The Cooling - Tower Industry

This paper summarizes recent evidence that artificial intelligence is changing how cyber 
adversaries plan and execute attacks, explains why industrial control systems (ICS) and 
building automation systems (BAS) that control cooling towers and chiller plants are 
especially vulnerable, and provides practical, industry-focused mitigations. Key points are 
supported with recent reports and case studies.
