Sponsored by Dragos, the Ponemon Institute’s report on the State of Industrial Cybersecurity finds that cultural and technical differences between traditional IT best practices and what is possible in OT increases an organization’s risk for costly cyber incidents – and the average cost to detect, investigate, and remediate an event.

Download the full report now for more about the state of industrial cybersecurity in the United States, including:

• Program maturity of securing operational technology networks across industries.
• What industrial organizations are doing to secure ICS/OT environments.
• OT cybersecurity investment, priorities, and accountability.
• The cause, consequences, and cost of an OT cybersecurity incident.

Preventive and Mitigative (P&M) regulations such as 49 CFR 192.935 for Gas Transmission Pipeline Integrity Management have traditionally focused on physical risks and threats to pipeline assets.

The non-physical risk of organizational failure has not been stressed enough. Yet, this risk is tied to some of the most high-profile and damaging pipeline incidents of the last 20+ years.

Transmission operators can use Pipeline SMS (PSMS / API 1173) as a method to root out organizational failure as part of their P&M program. Download our whitepaper to learn more about:

• PSMS as an Effective Prevention and Mitigation Methodology.
• How API 1173 Addresses Organizational Failure.
• The Value of Executing the Full Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle.
• The Use of Tools to Achieve Natural Compliance for Prevention & Mitigation.

Facing market volatility and pressure to reduce emissions, the oil and gas pipeline industry requires high financing levels to fund its capital projects and operations. The industry must also compete with other economic sectors for scarce investor resources. To better navigate these growing challenges, pipeline companies must embrace innovation and digitalization. Download our executive brief to learn how integrating your physical and digital pipeline assets improves business decision-making and operational efficiency.
