    Oil & Gas Infosec 101

    Oil & Gas Infosec 101

    Ever wonder what it's like to secure off-shore platforms, field operations, and aging SCADA systems? Take a ride through how Oil & Gas companies operate and what the pitfalls are in trying to fix technology that predates enterprise IT and make them more secure. SCADA, wifi/radio/satellite communication, and corporate IT all come together and it's up to YOU to figure out how to make sense of it all.

          Vandal considered working in Oil and Gas Infosec, it being a pretty large part of all industry in our area, but after learning how aged the systems were I think he decided he did not want to get into having to force people to understand they need to upgrade. ALL THE TIME.

              That's definitely part of the challenge. A key part of what I have to do is to increase security while being constrained by the whole upgrade/outdated tech thing.

                  I think he is still interested enough to want to know a little more. He has a great job now but should he ever want to move the best industry to look at would be oil and gas if he wants to stay in S E Asia. I will let him know about this talk.

                      Good deal! He's probably already aware of most of this, but hopefully he can take something away from it. The slides are intentionally sparse on details, mostly to prod me to actually speak about it versus reading the slides. :)

                          As any good slideshow should be!
