Oil & Natural Gas Cyber Threat Outlook

An overview of the cyber threats targeting industrial operations globally. In 2023, 68 cyberattacks were publicly recorded that resulted in physical impacts on industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) across sectors such as building automation, manufacturing, heavy industry, and critical infrastructure

The biggest challenge in oil and gas critical infrastructure

The biggest challenge in oil and gas critical infrastructure is balancing operational continuity with cybersecurity. In this sector, ensuring the availability and reliability of systems is paramount and top priority—any downtime can have significant financial and safety implications. Many traditional cybersecurity solutions can be too invasive, slowing down systems or introducing new vulnerabilities, which poses a risk to critical processes that must function seamlessly 24/7. This makes it challenging to secure aging infrastructure and OT systems while maintaining uninterrupted operations in an increasingly digital and interconnected landscape

Defend against oil and gas cyber threats

With Novaigu we offer a proactive, modular platform tailored specifically for critical infrastructure. It delivers enterprise-grade security that's easy to deploy and manage. From comprehensive asset management to AI-driven compliance and secure communication, Novaigu makes sure that your systems are resilient without requiring extensive resources. Whether it’s managing assets, handling documentation, or integrating with critical systems, our solution works seamlessly, providing powerful tools to keep you secure and compliant.

Challenges We Overcome

Novaigu was designed specifically to address these challenges. The platform is proactive, not reactive. While most cybersecurity solutions in the market today are designed to react after a problem occurs, Novaigu's platform works at the front end, identifying potential vulnerabilities before they become issues.

Managing Asset Inventories

In the oil and gas industry when managing asset inventories is achieving accurate, real-time visibility of all assets, particularly in complex, distributed environments. Oil and gas operations often span vast geographic areas, including remote and offshore locations, making it difficult to track and monitor all physical and digital assets effectively. Additionally, outdated legacy systems, a lack of standardized processes, and the integration of new technologies can lead to incomplete or inconsistent inventory data. Without a clear and up-to-date view of assets, companies face increased risks in maintenance planning, cybersecurity, and compliance, potentially leading to operational inefficiencies and financial losses

Novaigu was designed specifically to address these challenges. Novaigu helps answer critical questions like, 'What do I have?' and 'What is my current security posture?' We then provide guidance on 'What do I need to become secure?'

By proactively addressing potential threats, Novaigu helps ensure that your critical systems remain not only secure but also operational.
