Description

All life needs water. Both people, their company and their environment must at all times have water in the right quantity, of the right quality, at the right time. This water must be supplied within the safety of well-thought-out infrastructures for supply and discharge of water. Water-link wants to inspire everyone to fully tap into the strengths of water. Water-link is a Flemish public organisation that directly or indirecty provides drink water to more than 3 million people.

Our promise to you

  • We aim to respond to report in ultimately two weeks, probably faster!
  • We are happy to respond to any questions, please use the button in the right top corner for this.

Your promise to us

  • Please do not discuss or post vulnerabilities without our consent (including PoC's on YouTube and Vimeo)

Scanners also won't improve your skills, and can cause a high server load (we'd like to put our time in thanking researchers rather than blocking their IP's 😉)
