Industrial Cybersecurity

Created in 2015

The Industrial Cybersecurity Working Group is a team composed of the most senior specialists on the subject of major oil and gas companies in Latin America and the Caribbean, whose aim is to reduce the vulnerabilities of the industry to face an emerging and highly potential threat.
  • “The advance of information technologies and their penetration in the facilities control systems of companies has created a new scenario of vulnerabilities and potential threats to companies operating major infrastructures. This working group aims to share experiences, best management practices and new technologies in the world with regard to the new challenges of cybersecurity. It also seeks to raise awareness about cyber resilience, which implies not only preventing or responding to a cyber attack, but also includes the ability to operate during this event, adapting and recovering from it.”
