An oil rig’s sensitive information, its assets and the safety of its crew could be affected by cyber incidents that may be avoidable. Proper practice and regular testing will offer a robust cyber security framework that can identify the potential for incidents and minimise threats.
Maritime Secure can offer services from an initial audit to systems testing, all the way to the design and implementation of a cyber security architecture alongside the essential training for crews.
Those targeting oil rigs seek access to a number of cyber-related systems in order to steal information and assets that could significantly damage a business. These attacks can jeopardise the safety of a crew should their personal information be compromised.
Their safety may also be at risk with many key operating systems on oil rigs being automated.
Some of these systems may include:
Assets may also be damaged with the potential for attackers to steal finances from any online system. Actions as seemingly innocent as messaging passwords into team chats could put an entire rig in danger.
Cyber security services can help identify any potential weaknesses in a rig’s systems that may lead to an incident due to attackers or improper practice. With a robust cyber security framework rigs will have access to the essential testing that they need to make sure that systems have not become obsolete or compromised.
There is also training that helps crews improve their practices in regard to maritime cyber security. With proper training, crews will become important assets and the first line of defence against threats with improved practice. A high-quality service will make sure the risk of a cyber incident is minimised and there are no clear, avoidable liabilities within the systems themselves as well as the crew utilising them.
Our cyber security services are tailored specifically to the needs of the maritime industry, a sector in which we have extensive experience.
We offer services that will ensure the systems and crew on oil rigs are at a standard where cyber security is consistently considered and accounted for through good practice and regular testing.
Our process will cover oil rigs from beginning to end and help improve their framework with the following steps:
