Refineries and pipelines
Cybersecurity for refinery DCS, blending and metering systems, and for the OT infrastructure that must remain available beneath them.
Typical systems in this sector
The control systems and infrastructure we work with
- Refinery distributed control systems, blending and metering systems, and process historians that require high availability
- OT network infrastructure built on virtualized servers, with clustering, VM backup and recovery, and load balancing
- Separate production, test and engineering domains, so that lab and staging work cannot reach the live process
Key risks in this sector
The services and solutions that address each one- 01
IT and OT connections that create routes into the process environment through historian and data replication links
- 02
Ageing OT infrastructure that limits how much segmentation is possible without a major upgrade
- 03
Remote access for OEM vendor support, which can create unmanaged, always-on entry points into the control network
- 04
Ransomware that targets backup systems to remove the option to recover, a serious risk where uptime is critical
