Critical infrastructure, complex supply chains, and interconnected technologies pose risks to your operations, safety, and stability. These factors cross-impact oil and gas production as well as other critical infrastructure sectors.
A complex industrial control ecosystem (including PLC, DCS, SCADA, and HMI) coupled with IT/OT network convergence, remote operations, and digitizing critical processes like custody transfers enlarges your attack surface beyond control. Insufficient security updates and patches further exacerbate the issue, as do decades-old devices deployed alongside new technologies like IoT and IIoT.
relevant to critical controls included limited logging and monitoring, weak segmentation, and lack of asset inventories.
Group-IB Attack Surface Management creates a single pane of glass across IT and OT networks, makes an inventory of all company assets, and rates key security risks by priority level.
Group-IB Managed Detection and Response (MXDR) helps to manage endpoint security and control every single device within both new and legacy environments. MXDR detects and stops malware trying to infiltrate the OT environment through the IT and proactively hunts for threats across IT and OT.
To upskill in-house teams, prepare oil and gas companies for attacks targeting them specifically, and raise awareness of evolving threats, Group-IB offers tailored Red Teaming that models the most relevant attack paths and checks your team’s ability to respond appropriately in real time.
Group-IB experts conduct in-depth analyses of your IT and OT infrastructure to detect hidden threats and breaches, identify weaknesses in existing security controls, and provide actionable recommendations to improve your security posture.
Organizations operating ICS are a prime target for ransomware gangs and APT groups using ransomware. Their goals range from financial gain to sabotage and espionage. Such attacks can result in operational disruptions, consequences for safety and society as a whole, and financial and reputational damage.
After Colonial Pipeline was affected by ransomware in 2021, causing a shutdown of OT operations, ransomware attacks continued to soar in 2023, with 905 OT-related incidents — nearly 50% more than in 2022.
Managed Detection and Response provides 24/7 monitoring of all infrastructure assets, including your network traffic and emails, helping to rapidly identify and respond to indicators of compromise linked to ransomware.
Group-IB Threat Intelligence provides continuous tailored insights into ransomware groups and changes to their tactics, techniques, and procedures, which helps to prepare for attacks targeting the oil and gas sector before any damage can occur.
OT security teams are often understaffed and lack the necessary incident response skills. An effective solution is to outsource complex incident response tasks to Group-IB Incident Response professionals who will be at your disposal round the clock and ready to assist with any incidents.
Group-IB’s Incident Response Readiness Assessment checks whether you are prepared for ransomware attacks. The Group-IB team examines your infrastructure, processes and staff against best anti-ransomware practices and provides clear incident response recommendations.
Penalties for non-compliance are severe, but the damage to your brand and reputation from a breach could be far worse.
of oil and gas cybersecurity leaders complain about the burden of regulation, stating that ensuring compliance is often the most stressful part of their job.
Group-IB cybersecurity experts provide consulting and guidance on complying with relevant mandates such as NIST. They certify, document, and validate your cybersecurity defenses against cyber incidents through compliance information security (IS) assessment and consulting.
Group-IB’s “Building the Ultimate SOC” training program provides comprehensive knowledge and the practical skills needed to build and manage an effective SOC. The program aligns with industry standards and helps organizations comply with relevant regulations.
The oil and gas industry faces a persistent global shortage of experienced and skilled security staff. Group-IB’s training courses help to raise employee awareness and introduce best practices relating to data protection and more.
Industrial automation, control, and safety systems in the oil and gas sector are extensively digitized and heavily reliant on third-party components, which makes them susceptible to vulnerabilities.
of professionals across the energy industry say that their organization has an effective oversight of cybersecurity vulnerabilities in their supply chains.
Group-IB’s Attack Surface Management enumerates and validates software components supplied by third parties to ensure vulnerabilities are addressed promptly and effectively.
Group-IB MXDR performs automated threat forensics and AI-based malware protection against advanced cyber threats, uncovers anomalous behavior, and more. This means that you can identify and stop sophisticated supply-chain attacks and insider threats in real time.
