Cybercriminals target refineries, pipelines and drilling operations, aiming to disrupt production and cause financial losses. A single cyberattack can halt operations, damage equipment and endanger worker safety. These attacks can also trigger environmental disasters, such as oil spills or gas leaks, leading to severe legal and financial repercussions.

Strengthen infrastructure security. Deploy advanced threat detection, segment networks and monitor ICS/OT environments.

Key Dangers & Risks:

Operational shutdowns. Cyberattacks can paralyze extraction and refining processes.
Equipment sabotage. Malware can manipulate industrial control systems (ICS).
Safety hazards. Disruptions increase the risk of fires, spills and explosions.
