Oil and gas companies own and manage major pieces of critical infrastructure that are vital not only to company operations but also to the nation’s economic and military well-being. Upstream, midstream, and downstream operations are valuable targets for cyber threats from adversaries with a variety of motives—from personal profit to industrial espionage to economic disruption. Due to the critical nature of these facilities, oil and gas companies also face stringent cybersecurity regulations.

Clearly, the cyber risks facing the oil and gas industry are significant. An attack on the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system that operates an offshore rig, oil well, pipeline, or refinery—or Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that provide monitoring data to such systems—can have devastating consequences. These could include expensive damage to facilities, lengthy supply disruptions, and even injury and loss of life for employees, bystanders, and nearby residents. And attacks on corporate infrastructure could compromise intellectual property such as exploration data surveys, as well as pose data #security risks for business and personnel information.

For more than a decade, Fortinet has provided comprehensive security solutions for the oil and gas industry and its infrastructure—from land-based and offshore drilling sites, to refineries and pipelines, to the corner gas station. The #Fortinet #SecurityFabric enables end-to-end security integration across the entire infrastructure.
