Top 5 Cybersecurity Threats to Oil & Gas, and How to Protect Against Them
Summary: Dragos WorldView's Global Oil and Gas Threat Perspective report lays out five attack scenarios facing the oil and natural gas sector, drawn from adversary hunters' research on tactics, techniques, and procedures. The report notes a 15 percent increase in total vulnerabilities from 2022 to 2023, with ICS-specific vulnerabilities up 57 percent, and cites the adversary VOLTZITE as focused on collecting operational information about OT environments.
Key Takeaway: ICS-specific vulnerabilities rose 57 percent in a single year, and an adversary like VOLTZITE can sit inside industrial systems collecting operational detail for as long as defenders lack the logging and monitoring to see it.
