Past event: Hydrocarbon Cyber Security Summit

Enhancing Awareness & Systems Architecture to Fight Threats and Vulnerabilities

With the increasing threat of cyber attacks across the globe, industries are now working towards a safer cyber environment. One of the most vulnerable is the Oil & Gas industry. Oil & Gas majors must understand that cyber attacks 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as a challenge, in terms of time and capital, it is imperative to understand and react to the repercussions of having outdated systems.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 inaugural Hydrocarbon Cyber Security Summit, will bring together key actors from both Oil & Gas majors and Technology industries, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of current systems. The summit 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 both industries.
