Past event: Cyber Security - Oil, Gas, Power Conference 2016

Protecting Critical Energy Infrastructure Against Cyber Attacks

With the increasing threat of cyber attacks across the globe, industries are now working towards a safer cyber environment. The energy sector is also a subject to cyber threats. Such cyber attacks, whether aimed at IT systems or critical infrastructure, are no longer a question of ''if'', but ''when''. As seen in recent months, hackers can develop new ways to breach in systems' security every day and the risk of facing an attack is an actual and permanent threat.  Therefore the importance of enhancing cyber resistance, security and response is crucial.

Whether it concerns systems updates or employee training, the necessity to expand cyber security is essential. Industrial Control Systems, such as SCADA Networks, are becoming more obsolete every day. Although upgrading may be perceived as a challenge, in terms of time and capital, it is imperative to understand and react to the repercussions of having outdated systems.

Our Cyber Security - Oil, Gas, Power Conference will bring together key stakeholders from energy majors and technology industries, to discuss the challenges and opportunities found in the current systems. The conference will also promote essential collaboration between decision makers and technology experts, in order to streamline solutions to resist cyber threats and attacks.

Join us in London, and learn about the best strategies, practices and technologies whilst networking with key actors from these industries.
