The UK water industry faces unprecedented challenges: increasing demand, aging infrastructure, pollution, leaks, and the escalating impact of climate change. These pressures threaten water security and put utilities at risk of costly penalties, declining customer trust, and regulatory non-compliance. The time for action is now.
We help water utilities navigate the complexities of modernisation, ensuring secure, scalable, and sustainable solutions for the future.
Our approach delivers 100% continuity and adherence to the highest safety and regulatory standards. We leverage cutting-edge technology and automation to optimise operations, enhance customer experience, and minimise environmental impact.
By using our proprietary approach to the transformation of critical national infrastructure: ‘Secure. Scale. Sustain.’
Secure. By putting the same market-leading IT/OT security, safety and continuity capabilities, that have served the UK's critical national infrastructure for over 60 years, at the service of water utilities.
Scale. By enabling, derisking and accelerating water utilities’ innovation journeys – from pilot to roll-out – Fujitsu's market-leading technology and automation solutions transform water quality, customer experience, efficiency, operations, environmental impact, and social value.
Sustain. By giving water utilities access to Fujitsu’s Sustainability Transformation (SX) approach, ecosystem, and leading sustainable technologies, your net-zero journey is accelerated. Securing, scaling, and sustaining clean water defines our future.
Are you ready?
Get in touchFor over 60 years, Fujitsu has helped deliver critical UK infrastructure. Now, we're bringing that same expertise to the water sector. Our cutting-edge IT and OT security solutions protect against cyber threats, while our scalable solutions move you beyond pilot projects to full deployment, improving efficiency and customer service. Discover how partnering with Fujitsu can help you deliver a secure and sustainable future.
Meeting the demands of 2050, which projects a need for nearly 5 billion more litres of water daily, requires a fundamental transformation—one that prioritises security, operational resilience, and sustainable practices. Many water utilities are struggling to meet safety, customer, and environmental KPIs, facing crippling fines and unsustainable business models. The convergence of IT and OT systems, while offering opportunities for improvement, also increases vulnerability to cyberattacks, with a staggering 586% increase in attacks on UK utilities between 2022 and 2023.
Fujitsu understands these pressures and the critical role OT and IT play in driving efficiency, ensuring safety, and maintaining a competitive edge in today's industrial landscape. To help water utilities navigate these complexities and to unlock the full potential of your OT infrastructure, we've developed five insightful white papers.
Meet regulatory requirements, enhance operational resilience, and contribute to a more sustainable water supply.
Leverage the benefits of convergence while mitigating associated security risks.
Improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance customer service through data-driven insights.
Protect against cyber threats and ensure the continuous operation of essential services.
Identify vulnerabilities and proactively mitigate risks to critical infrastructure like lift and pump stations and.
Fujitsu's market-leading comprehensive security and operational solution, Virtual Edge, enables the rapid deployment of new sites, locations and services in minutes rather than weeks – increasing organizational agility. Our Virtual Edge solution has already been piloted with a top 10 water utility and proven to provide comprehensive security. Our Virtual Edge solution integrates firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection software to create a protective barrier around water utilities' OT digital ecosystem. This safeguards against cyber risks associated with the shift from traditional to internetbased connectivity. The result? It limits the impact of incidents, ensuring uninterrupted operations and reducing downtime.
Fujitsu was delighted to take part in this year’s Northumbrian Water Innovation Festival, joining forces with some of the brightest minds in the UK water sector. Together with our partners, we led a sprint on Connected Intelligence that sparked fresh thinking across the sector. Catch the action in our video, where you’ll see how Fujitsu collaborated with Hexagon, Twinit, and Wolfram to explore smarter, more resilient infrastructure for the future of water.
Cybersecurity is no longer a luxury for UK water utilities—it's a necessity.
