3rd Annual Cyber Security for Oil & Gas Summit

As part of critical infrastructure, the oil & gas industry has developed a rather
large target for international cyber criminals and malicious actors looking to cause
disruption. The oil & natural gas industry in particular, as an industry with a large
attack surface and highly valuable assets both physical and digital has attracted a
high-level of targeted and probing cyber-attacks. As the network perimeters of
oil & gas organizations continue to widen in the digital oilfield age and with the
propagation of personal device programs, can you identify the most vulnerable threat
vectors in your network? Do you feel confident that your organization is equipped
with the proper intelligence & operational capability to address the next level of
rapidly advancing cyber threats in the wild?
With the proliferation of state sponsored hacking groups and established botnets
perpetrating thousands of attacks on oil companies on a daily basis it is imperative to
engage in industry-wide discussion of these challenges and share successful strategies
to overcome the challenge of securing assets in the digital age. The US oil & gas
industry is in a bit of a lull financially and with the need to optimize existing assets and
maintain production operational time your work as an IT/cyber/information security
professional is paramount to the overall success of the organization. With industry
focused group like the ONG-ISAC aligning themselves with the goal of developing
unified industry-wide security collaboration and a threat information
sharing approach that is secure & understanding of the business concerns you might
have with sharing that data; this summit will serve to complement that objective of
advancing the goals of the industry with regard to security practices and network
defense.
To capitalize on the chance to continue to provide valuable support for the
business and enable growth opportunities for your enterprise the 3rd Annual
Cyber Security for Oil and Gas Summit will gather a large contingent of the
oil & gas industry security community around three days of progressive, high-level
discussion around the most crucial cyber security objectives/challenges. The challenge
is huge to be able to deliver a network environment that is secure and prepared to
deal with major unexpected threats like the Shell Shock Bash bug & Heartbleed in
addition to all of the other, more targeted attacks coming in to your organization
on a daily basis so join your industry peers this June 22-24, 2015 in Houston, TX
