Oil & Gas / Energy

Digitalization has brought many benefits to Oil, Gas and Energy companies. It has also significantly increased cyber risks and exposed vulnerabilities in the operational technology used extensively in the sector which was not designed to be connected to the internet and lacks robust built-in security. The broad range of diverse business processes and systems encompassing Upstream, Mid-Stream, and Downstream as well as Trading Businesses creates multiple attack vectors which can be exploited by threat actors to cause major damage to plant and equipment, as well as environment and public safety risks.
