Explore essential skills and strategies for measurement technicians to bridge the industry skills gap, adapt to technological advancements, and excel in pipeline operations. This comprehensive guide covers training, communication, and practical tips for success.
(P&GJ) — Following the attack on the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline a year ago, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg discussed the protection of critical infrastructure with NATO’s members. He made a special point of reaching out to German leaders and to Denmark’s defense minister, since this is the country closest to the damage.
API published its third edition of Standard Pipeline Control Systems Cybersecurity, underscoring the natural gas and oil industry’s ongoing commitment to protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure from malicious and potentially disruptive cyberattacks.
The Transportation Security Administration is overhauling its strategy for cybersecurity in the pipeline sector.
Today’s digital world defines so much of the global society from finances to socialization, education to work and play. It is no surprise that the energy sector, too, is increasingly digitized and data-driven.
The federal Transportation Security Administration is moving quickly to ramp up the ability of utilities and pipelines to defend themselves against future cyberattacks.
The Colonial Pipeline attack should serve as a wake-up call for organizations in critical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing — now is the time to implement a standards-based approach to risk assessment and mitigation.
Working together with industry and government, the American Petroleum Institute has taken a major step to enhance protection of critical pipeline infrastructure by publishing the 3rd edition of Standard 1164, Pipeline Control Systems Cybersecurity.
A comprehensive cybersecurity self-assessment sent to pipeline operators by the Transportation Security Administration is a clear signal that the federal homeland security apparatus is fully engaged in getting ahead of future attacks.
Today, fearing the worst, oil and gas companies – and the federal government – are putting a renewed emphasis on cybersecurity in this crucial component of our nation’s critical infrastructure sector. In this threatening and confusing landscape, operators follow five steps detailed in this article.
The cyberattack on Colonial Pipelines served as the ultimate exclamation point on that pesky declaration pipeline companies had been hearing for years: Your information systems need to be better protected from malicious software.
House Democrats and Republicans have had trouble agreeing on a pipeline safety bill so far this year, but a second bill on pipeline security faces no such problem.
Recently research on artificial intelligence underscores the fact that AI has no inherent ethical bias. The same technology that could, in principle, allow AI to identify and treat an injured person, could equally be trained to identify and harm members of specific groups.
Traditional SCADA systems used pipeline operational control are vulnerable in at least three main areas: operational information, production data and control logic. The more openly this data flows, the more cost-effectively the plant can be run, so there is much to be gained by securing the data exchange.
Many oil and gas companies are operating networks of machines, people and applications that are vulnerable to attack. Protecting these systems requires a different IT security model than many other businesses.
