Industrial Sector

Oil and Gas

The Oil and Gas sector operates some of the most complex and critical OT environments in the world. From wellhead automation and pipeline SCADA to refinery DCS and terminal management systems, cybersecurity incidents can have catastrophic safety, environmental, and financial consequences.

Specialized Protection

Securing Oil and Gas Infrastructure

Purpose-built OT cybersecurity strategies designed for the unique systems, protocols, and safety requirements of oil and gas operations.

OT Environment

Industrial Control Systems in Oil and Gas

Understanding the specific OT environment of each sector is essential to effective security. The systems, protocols, and operational constraints vary significantly across industrial verticals.

SCADA systems

DCS

Safety instrumented systems (SIS)

Pipeline management systems

Tank gauging systems

Key Challenges

Cybersecurity Challenges in This Sector

Legacy OT systems with no patch support or vendor updates

Extensive geographic distribution of assets requiring remote access

Convergence of IT and OT networks in digital transformation programs

Supply chain risks from third-party vendors and contractors

Regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions

Our Approach

How Beacon Security Works in Oil and Gas

We apply IEC 62443 security zones and conduits modeling to segment OT environments, conduct passive vulnerability assessments that avoid disrupting safety-critical systems, and develop threat models specific to upstream and downstream oil and gas operations.
