独家首发福克斯新闻： 福克斯新闻数字频道独家获悉，特朗普政府周一将启动“分水岭250项目”，部署美国人工智能和网络安全工具保护德州供水系统免受网络攻击，作为试点项目，政府计划将其推广至全国。
美国国家网络总监肖恩·凯恩斯向福克斯新闻数字频道表示：“分水岭250项目是特朗普总统将美国家庭和社区放在首位的又一例证。特朗普总统始终不懈地致力于保护我们的关键基础设施，抵御我们最顽固的对手。特朗普总统巩固了美国在人工智能安全与创新领域的领导地位，如今正通过启动分水岭250项目——一项可扩展的网络供水试点计划，将这些卓越的技术带到德州的地方社区和供水企业，并最终推广至全国。”
特朗普政府正将联邦、州和私营部门的网络防御力量整合起来，开展为期六个月的德州试点项目，旨在在对手利用漏洞之前发现供水系统的脆弱之处，同时测试该模式是否可在全国范围内推广。

据一位白宫官员向福克斯新闻数字频道透露，该项目将把德州供水企业与美国网络安全公司联系起来，测试其现有防御能力，并利用私营部门的网络和人工智能工具强化存在漏洞的系统。
据一位白宫官员介绍，该项目将采用“红队演练”对供水企业的网络进行压力测试，识别黑客可能利用的弱点，随后利用网络安全工具强化这些系统。

Dragos首席执行官罗伯特·李表示，美国供水基础设施面临着已被记录在案的活跃威胁，尤其是那些往往缺乏强大网络安全防御能力的小型供水企业。李表示，分水岭250项目将有助于在攻击发生前为这些脆弱的系统提供技术、培训和支持。
德克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培表示：“对德克萨斯州民众而言，没有什么比清洁、可靠的饮用水更重要。分水岭250项目将联邦、州和私营部门的网络防御力量无偿投入到我们的供水企业中。白宫、德州网络司令部和行业如今将按照统一标准开展协作。”
不过，一位白宫官员表示，该项目并非针对近期针对明尼苏达州30多个供水系统的网络攻击，尽管这些事件凸显了地方基础设施存在的脆弱性。
该白宫官员补充道：“不过，这些近期的攻击事件再次强调了对供水系统进行现代化改造和重点防护的必要性。网络和基础设施安全局（ONCD）和特朗普总统一直将关键基础设施保护视为优先事项，这项工作自去年以来就在推进中。”

美国环境保护署和国土安全部下属的网络安全与基础设施安全局将作为该项目的联邦合作伙伴，而德州网络司令部将与白宫合作，与地方政府以及微软、Reflection AI、帕洛阿尔托网络公司和Dragos公司等科技企业开展协作。
Reflection AI公司企业事务主管贝基·索斯诺夫表示：“没有什么比美国民众饮用的水的安全更重要，这有力证明了美国本土开发、运行在供水企业自有系统上的开放式人工智能模型如何帮助保障社区安全。”

微软美国公共部门总裁克里斯·巴里表示：“微软赞赏政府在强化美国供水基础设施网络安全方面的领导作用，并很自豪能够与国家网络主任办公室、德克萨斯州和德州网络司令部合作，支持分水岭250项目。我们将整合微软的网络安全专业知识、威胁情报和人工智能驱动的安全能力，旨在帮助供水企业增强抵御不断演变的网络威胁的韧性，并开发可推广的方法，提升全国供水系统的安全性。”
此次行动正值特朗普政府加紧建设美国数据中心以推动人工智能热潮之际，这使得维持数据中心运行所需的水和电力受到更多关注。

该试点项目是基于特朗普6月份发布的《促进先进人工智能创新与安全行政命令》以及3月份发布的《美国网络战略》推进的。

FIRST ON FOX: Texas becomes testing ground for new defense against attacks on America’s water systems
The six-month pilot pairs federal agencies, Texas Cyber Command, and firms like Microsoft and Dragos to defend utilities

FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration is launching “Project Watershed 250” Monday, Fox News Digital exclusively learned, deploying American artificial intelligence and cybersecurity tools to protect Texas water systems from cyberattacks in a pilot the administration plans to scale nationwide.
“Project Watershed 250 is another example of President Trump putting American families and communities first. President Trump is relentless in his work to secure our critical infrastructure against our most determined adversaries,” National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross told Fox News Digital. “President Trump has cemented America’s leadership in AI security and innovation and is now bringing those exquisite tools to local communities and utilities in Texas and ultimately, across the nation through the launch of Project Watershed 250 – a scalable cyber water pilot program.”
The Trump administration is bringing federal, state and private-sector cyber defenses together in a six-month Texas pilot aimed at finding vulnerabilities in water systems before adversaries can exploit them — while testing whether the model can be expanded across the country.

The program will connect Texas water utilities with U.S. cybersecurity companies to test their existing defenses and strengthen vulnerable systems using private-sector cyber and artificial intelligence tools, a White House official told Fox News Digital.
The program will use “red-teaming” to stress-test water utilities’ networks, identify weaknesses hackers could exploit and then strengthen those systems with cybersecurity tools, according to a White House official.

Dragos CEO Robert Lee said that U.S. water infrastructure faces active, documented threats, particularly at small utilities that often lack strong cybersecurity defenses. Lee said Watershed 250 will help get technology, training and support to those vulnerable systems before an attack occurs.
“There is nothing more important to Texans than clean, reliable drinking water. Project Watershed 250 puts federal, state, and private-sector cyber defenses behind our utilities at no cost. The White House, the Texas Cyber Command, and industry now work from the same playbook,” said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
A White House official, however, said the program is not in response to recent cyberattacks that targeted more than 30 Minnesota water systems, though the incidents underscored vulnerabilities in local infrastructure.
“However, these recent attacks have reiterated the need for this modernization and focus on water systems,” said the White House official. “Critical Infrastructure protection has long been a priority for ONCD and President Trump and this effort has been in the works since last year.”

The Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency will serve as federal partners in the effort, while Texas Cyber Command will work alongside the White House with local governments and tech companies such as Microsoft, Reflection AI, Palo Alto Networks and Dragos Inc.
“Few things matter more than the safety of the water Americans drink, and this is a powerful example of how open-weight AI models, built in the U.S. and running on a utility’s own systems, can help keep communities safe,” said Becky Sosnov, Reflection AI head of corporate affairs.

“Microsoft applauds the administration’s leadership in strengthening the cybersecurity of America’s water infrastructure and is proud to support the Project Watershed 250 effort in partnership with the Office of the National Cyber Director, the State of Texas, and Texas Cyber Command,” said Microsoft US Public Sector president Chris Barry. “By bringing together Microsoft’s cybersecurity expertise, threat intelligence, and AI-powered security capabilities, we aim to help water utilities strengthen their resilience against evolving cyber threats and develop scalable approaches that can enhance the security of water systems nationwide.”
The push comes as the Trump administration races to build out U.S. data centers to fuel the AI boom, putting more attention on the water and power needed to keep them running.
