Southeast Asian Oil & Gas Giant Reduces the Attack Surface & Secures Operations with Claroty
This southeast Asian oil and gas industry firm’s security, engineering, and executive personnel all recognized that preserving the availability, integrity, and safety of its hydrocarbon production operations required a robust operational technology (OT) cybersecurity program. However, the company’s head of OT cyber operations also knew it would not be possible to achieve this alone due to the following conditions:
Like most critical industrial organizations, this organization had historically struggled to maintain a comprehensive, up-to-date inventory of the diverse range of assets that underpin operations at each of its industrial plants and production sites.
The existing security and inventory tools were not sufficiently compatible with the complex systems and proprietary protocols used by this diverse range of assets.
The above visibility and technical challenges meant the company’s security and engineering personnel were limited in their ability to not only identify and mitigate vulnerabilities affecting industrial assets, but also to monitor for and respond to threats to its hydrocarbon production operations.
