Consequences of such attacks include expensive damage to infrastructure and facilities, prolonged supply disruptions and safety challenges for plant and pipeline management employees. Further, such attacks on established corporate infrastructure could very well compromise important intellectual property including exploration data surveys, while posing data security risks.

Industrial IoT devices and connected systems have degraded the cybersecurity of SCADA systems that are managing exploration and drilling sites, storage units and infrastructure used to manage operations. Connected sensors and controller devices have also eliminated air gaps from SCADA systems thereby exposing them to cyberattacks.

Every link in the oil and gas exploration and supply chain is vulnerable. Use of SCADA systems and IoT expands the threat surface across oil wells, refining plants, pipelines, storage units and retail outlets.
