However, managing several devices in this environment is quite challenging for enterprises, and hence there is a need for an efficient security solution such as video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection solutions.
Top Winning Strategies, by Development 2015-2017 (%)
Rise in Cyber-threats in the Oil & Gas Sector
The increase in digitization in the oil & gas industry is giving rise to cyber-attacks such as denial of service, malware, and phishing. Globally, cyber-attacks in the oil & gas sector have caused massive disruptions to the entire network including upstream, midstream, and downstream processes. Further, the various types of cyber-attacks such as insider misuse, cyber espionage, web application attacks, denial of service, physical risk/loss of property, and payment card skimmers have affected the oil & gas industry Most enterprises are implementing effective security solutions such as intrusion prevention, access control, and incident response to combat them.
Security Issues Linked to Cloud Software Deployment
Most enterprises are deploying software on cloud, which poses a high risk to the data stored in the oil & gas industry. Even though the benefits of deploying the software on cloud is high, there are security issues linked to this deployment model. Cloud model is entirely dependent on the internet and therefore is prone to outages and service interruptions at any time. In a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model of a cloud environment, the end users use the services provided by the cloud providers without knowing accurately where the resources for such services are located.
Rise in Investments in the Oil & Gas Sector Especially in Emerging Regions
The Middle Eastern region is generously endowed with oil & gas resources. At the end of 2001, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region accounted for about 69 percent of 1,050 billion barrels of the established petroleum reserves. The US$25 billion Saudi Gas Initiative, which aimed to integrate upstream gas development with downstream petrochemicals and power generation is expected to raise the Middle Eastern gas output within the coming years. Shell Exploration & Production (E&P) is also serving a regional boom in upstream activity, with major ongoing projects in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, and Syria.
