As an oil and gas company, you must remain vigilant in the face of the industry’s persistent cyber threats.
Owners/operators of TSA-designated critical pipeline and natural gas facilities were required to create and submit a Cybersecurity Implementation Plan by October 25, 2022. Your plan must include in-depth details on how your organization will approach malicious attacks and proactively take action to prevent disruption and degradation to critical infrastructure in the event of a cyber-attack. You are also required to develop and maintain an up-to-date cybersecurity incident response plan and cybersecurity assessment program. Until the TSA approves your plan, apply the requirements in SD 2021-02B. Plans must be updated and submitted annually.
Are you ready? Do you still need help? Are you unsure and you have questions?
The recent high-profile attacks on Colonial Pipeline and Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) are stark reminders of the potential consequences of insufficient cybersecurity measures. The Colonial Pipeline incident, which occurred in May 2021, resulted in a ransomware attack that temporarily shut down the pipeline, causing fuel shortages and significant disruptions to the fuel supply along the East Coast of the United States. Similarly, Mexico’s state-owned oil company, Pemex, encountered multiple cyber-attacks, including ransomware attacks that impacted their administrative and payment systems.
