The Cyber Risk to Oil and Gas: Attack on Colonial Pipeline

A 300% increase in cyberattacks across the US over the last 9 months has sparked what many are calling a cyber pandemic. The ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline has put energy and utility sector corporations firmly on the cybercriminal radar.

Industrial Control Systems face specific challenges in maintaining a strong cyber security posture. Wide network areas incorporate potentially thousands of PLC inputs and outputs, RTUs and IEDs. On the other hand, employees bring in human error or even the threat of malicious insiders.

Making sure these connections and components are secure requires a deep dive into network infrastructure and robust penetration testing. Which is where Cyber Citadel comes in - it is what we do.

The risk is real.
