Combating Security Threats Via Digital Oil Field

摘要

A company is going about its business. Then suddenly there is a blackout; all of its IT infrastructure has been hacked and corrupted. Elsewhere, an operator returns to the field and discovers equipment has been stolen. It’s organized crime that’s been going on for a long time and continues today, according to Robert Ream, chairman of the U.S. Energy Security Council, a partnership between state, local and federal law enforcement. “It’s a complicated activity. It’s complex, and it happens every day,” he said. “Even with the downgrade in our commodity prices, the criminal activity remains.”
