Addressing cyber security for the oil, gas and energy sector

The rapid spread of cyber threats and attacks are forcing many organizations to rethink their cyber security policies and standards. The latest cyber-attacks are well structured, organized, vicious, destructive and exceptionally sophisticated. The new reality of relentless cyber-attacks is causing havoc at a high level within oil and energy companies. There is a great need for developing and establishing new processes and policies with which to train a new “tech savvy” generation of professionals; who can then create and implement solid, systematic and sound cyber security policies. Cyber defense standards cannot be achieved fast enough to deal with this evolving threat.
