The total, global impact of malicious cyber activity nowadays could be as high as USD 1 trillion. Of this, the number of concerted attacks specifically targeted at the global energy sector, namely, the oil, petrochemicals and power generation sectors, has been steadily increasing in recent years. If left unmitigated, cyber security threats will continue to grow and intelligent energy systems, oil and gas pipelines, smart grids, intellectual properties and critical data in the energy industries will become increasingly vulnerable.
Today, the sheer volume and concentration of data and digital transactions, coupled with easy global access throughout the business ecosystem, magnifies exposure to cyber attacks. While organizations have made significant security improvements, they have not kept pace with today’s determined adversaries. As a result, many rely on yesterday’s security practices to combat today’s threats. Increasingly, the very survival of the energy sector demands that security leaders understand, prepare for, and quickly respond to security threats. Thus, this roundtable will specifically address:
- Industrial threats and methods of risk assessment for the energy sector
- The development of security strategies and security design for the energy sector
- Recovery systems for the energy system
