Oil and gas
Protecting the systems that run production, pipelines and terminals, and the corporate networks connected to them.
Oil and gas operators depend on systems that must keep running: production control, pipelines, terminals and the networks that tie them to the business. A cyber incident here is not only a data problem; it can stop output and put people and the environment at risk.
We help operators understand their risk across both corporate IT and operational technology, design network segmentation between them, detect unusual activity without disturbing operations, and prepare management and technical teams for a crisis through assessments, architecture work and tabletop exercises.
Challenges we see
- Operational technology and corporate IT are increasingly connected, so an incident in one can reach the other.
- Industrial systems often run for decades, cannot be patched on a normal schedule and were not built with security in mind.
- Production and safety come first; security changes must be tested and scheduled so they do not interrupt operations.
- Remote sites, pipelines and terminals with limited connectivity and few on-site specialists.
- Contractors, equipment suppliers and remote maintenance create many third-party access paths.
Frameworks and standards
- NIST CSF 2.0
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022
- IEC 62443 (security for industrial automation and control systems)
- NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 (Guide to Operational Technology (OT) Security)
