Securing your offshore Oil and Gas Infrastructure

Offshore oil and gas infrastructure faces significant and increasing cybersecurity risks in the form of threat actors, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts.

Threat actors. State actors, cybercriminals, and others could potentially conduct cyberattacks against offshore oil and gas infrastructure. The federal government has identified the oil and gas sector as a target of malicious state actors.

Vulnerabilities. Modern exploration and production methods are increasingly reliant on remotely connected operational technology—often critical to safety— that is vulnerable to cyberattack. Older infrastructure is also vulnerable because its operational technology can have fewer cybersecurity protection measures.

Potential impacts. A successful cyberattack on offshore oil and gas infrastructure could cause physical, environmental, and economic harm, according federal officials. For example, officials said that the effects of a cyberattack could resemble those that occurred in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster. Disruptions to oil and gas production or transmission could also affect energy supplies and markets.

Empower Users, Enhance Security. A Game-Changing Webinar for IBM QRadar Customers

Join us for an enlightening webinar as we unveil the groundbreaking integration of MYID and IBM QRadar, designed to transform your security operations center (SOC) into a self-service powerhouse. Whether you are an existing or prospective IBM QRadar customer, this webinar is your gateway to revolutionizing your security landscape.

Discover how MYID empowers both existing and new IBM QRadar customers to unleash the true potential of their security operations centers. With MYID's seamless integration, every user in your organization can become an active participant in your SOC. Witness firsthand how self-service capabilities enable users to take control of their security posture.

During this webinar, we will demonstrate how MYID empowers users to review and respond to security incidents independently. Explore how real-time feeds from IBM QRadar trigger personalized push notifications to end users, ensuring they are promptly informed if their identity is involved in an offense. Users can then take immediate action by simply confirming or denying their involvement.

But that's not all—MYID takes security a step further. In cases where users deny involvement, access termination is initiated, forcing them to change their password for enhanced protection. Once the password is changed, normal operations are restored seamlessly, ensuring the highest level of security without compromising user experience.

Don't miss this opportunity to unlock the power of a self-service SOC with MYID and IBM QRadar. Join us and learn how to transform your security operations, streamline incident response, and empower every user in your organization. Register now to embark on a new era of security operations.

New Product Development Seminar

About

New Product Development is undergoing rapid changes whereby the traditional methodologies are becoming outdated. Developing New Products and successfully bringing them to market is becoming increasingly important in this century. Most of the new wealth being generated is the result of innovation.

This seminar will contain a series of lectures aimed at educating about all aspects of New Product Development based on the world class product development experience in high tech companies and research labs.

Our Focus

The seminar will focus on the three phases of product development.

• Activities that happen well before the decision to develop is made.
• Activities that happen during the development of the product.
• Activities that happen after the product has been developed.

The seminars will focus on these phases from the point of views of technology, productization, and legal aspects.

In the webinar we will share about the security and fraud risks to ATM channel, ATM security assessment services and the Detection and Prevention of fraud.

Breach Reality

We all hear the words – “It’s not a question of ‘if’… it’s a question of ‘when’…”

We get that, and we all try to prepare as effectively as we can…

But unfortunately, most Security Officers are still stunned when they face Breach Reality - the totality of events that follow a serious security breach in real time.

Our cybersecurity webinar series, “The Security Blueprint,” takes a different approach to security and shares first-hand perspectives from security leaders in the industry.  Our goal is to prepare you for the realities you may face, and the pitfalls to avoid.

In our first episode, “Breach Reality,” you'll hear the words and live through the experience of our featured Subject Matter Expert – Fran Malloy. In his role as The Director of IT Operations, Support, and Risk Management for an industry-leading outdoor apparel retailer, Fran had implemented the best present-day cybersecurity practices across his enterprise. But they still got in. On paper, he was prepared. But in reality, these were new and dangerously uncharted waters. Managing his company through an actual breach has given him many new and potentially game-changing perspectives. Hear the account and the first-hand lessons learned. 

The Security Blueprint Webinar Series will include the following episodes:

• Ep.1 - Fran Malloy’s Breach Reality, a Case Study – Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 2 pm ET
• Ep.2 - Privileged Identity Management
• Ep.3 - Data Protection

Oil Well Monitoring - Industry FYP Opportunity

SPS is proposing a project for final year students / faculty interested in Oil and Gas Industry. Scope of the project will be discussed in the webinar.

Monitoring of Oil & Gas wells production rates

Measure flow rate at a well. Flow of oil, gas and water separately. The flow rate could be in gallons per minute. We can measure the temperature and pressure as well. The flow rate measurement will translate into production rate measurements.

The data will be transmitted and displayed on a smart phone. Data Security must be insured.

Measurement of flow rates from a well will be up-scaled to a field level (multiple wells).

There are three possible scenarios:

1. The well is at a remote location with no electricity and no wifi.
2. The well location has electricity but no wifi.
3. The well location has electricity and wifi
