Securing oil and gas operations against cyber terrorism and criminality
In the oil and gas sector, thousands of onshore and offshore production facilities, hundreds of thousands of gas pipelines, numerous transfer and compressor stations, storage facilities as well as control and measurement systems must be protected against disruptions every day. As process automation advances, the attack surface is increasingly shifting from the physical space to the digital.
According to the World Economic Forum's Cyber Resilience in the Oil & Gas Industry (2021) report, attacks on OT systems increased by more than 30 percent between 2018 and 2019. Past incidents at Saudi Aramco, Petro Rabigh, CPC Corp. and Colonial Pipeline, among others, highlight the importance of greater cyber resilience. At the same time, the sector is struggling with a lack of skilled personnel to ensure the security of its operational technology (OT), while regulators are expanding requirements for plant and distribution system operators.

Simple and effective OT security for the oil and gas sector
Detect attacks on your operational technology network
With Rhebo, companies in the oil and gas sector can secure their upstream to downstream operations and infrastructures against professional, multi-stage cyber attacks in a targeted manner. We establish complete asset visibility in the OT, identify vulnerabilities, and detect cyber incidents in real time that could put the security, integrity, and availability of critical processes at risk.
Ensure NIS2 compliance
NIS2 primarily affects companies that were not previously subject to any national IT security legislation. Overall, the number of companies for which a solid cybersecurity strategy and implementation will become a legal obligation is increasing manifold. This eBook examines the impact of NIS2 on companies, places the directive within the wider framework, discusses the challenges and limitations for many affected companies and explains how these limitations can be overcome and the residual risk can be brought under control.
Bridge the OT security resources gap
Rhebo supports its customers along the entire OT security lifecycle – from initial risk analysis, to integration and baselining, to managed OT monitoring with the Rhebo threat and intrusion detection. Companies in the oil and gas sector can thus focus on their core business without losing sight of the security of their critical processes.
