Improving Readiness and Response in Converged Architectures at the Edge

Why It Matters:

Pipeline owners and operators are increasingly leveraging data by moving more workloads to the edge, but with increase edge comes an increased attack surface. Recent headlines are a clear indicator that the bad actor sees the oil and gas sector as a target for sophisticated cyberattacks. Given the increase in digital connectivity, this has elevated the importance of cyber readiness and shines a light on the importance of the safety and security of the assets.

During this panel discussion, experts will discuss strategies for preparing for, responding to and recovering from cyberattacks as a part of any business continuity plan.

• Understanding the risks associated across the expanding oil and gas attack surface
• Evaluating the cybersecurity needs to support modern and legacy SCADA platforms across oil and gas facilities
• Best practice guidance for leaders to support a cybersecurity program that focused on the safety and security of critical assets
