"The product, VSAT, or "Vulnerability Self Assessment Tool," has been created with help and $500,000 funding from the federal Environmental Protection Agency by the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies. AMSA promotes sound, scientific and cost effective laws and regulation of the industry.
"VSAT is a system to rate all of your assets on the degree to which you believe they are vulnerable. It will give you a priority of what you need to do first and then give you the options, the costs associated with those, the time it may take and the technology available to remediate them," says Adam Krantz, a spokesman for AMSA.
