Cybersecurity
This paper presents an integrated view of three key areas of knowledge that typically are addressed individually—cybersecurity, process safety, and human factors—from the perspective of cybersecurity.
With a rapid transition toward renewable energy, the energy sector has an increased reliance on technology. This makes it particularly vulnerable with regard to cybersecurity.
Cyber risks facing the oil and gas industry continue to grow. Legal requirements, likewise, are continuing to expand. This article summarizes how these trends may affect oil and gas companies and describes steps companies can take to stay ahead of the curve.
-
The oil and gas industry uses a variety of complex systems and technologies that are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Now, through the Cyber Resilience Pledge, more than 20 global CEOs have committed to work together to improve cyber resilience across the ecosystem. -
A network of more than 1,600 offshore facilities produces a significant portion of US domestic oil and gas. The facilities, which rely on technology to remotely monitor and control equipment, face a growing risk of cyberattacks.
-
As we continue to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, we risk becoming more vulnerable if we don’t start associating climate resiliency with cyber resiliency.
-
Companies now have 24 hours to report hacks and are poised to get more flexibility to design their defenses.
-
DNV’s report reveals that energy professionals believe cyberattacks on the industry are likely to cause harm to life, property, and the environment in the next 2 years but less than half of them believe that the security of their operational technologies is as robust as that of their information technology.
-
As technology advances in the oil and gas sector, so does cybersecurity risk. To stay secure, companies should blend cybersecurity into their safety conversations, said expert Nicholas Andersen at the 2022 Offshore Technology Conference.
-
A recent survey sponsored by ABS Group revealed that 45% of participants estimate the threats to their control systems are high and another 15% said they were severe or critical.
-
The goal of this paper is to aid oilfield security planning and design processes through improved recognition of the cyber-physical security effects arising from the implementation of the industrial Internet of Things.
-
The authors present a review of the capabilities of fog computing and its potential in the petroleum industry.
-
This paper describes the current challenges faced by energy companies, the implications of observable industry trends, the characteristics that potential cybersecurity solutions must meet, and how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can meet these requirements.
