Enhancing Production Safety, Throughput, and Uptime in Oil & Gas

Oil & gas CPS security involves protecting the operational networks, industrial control systems (ICS), and connected physical machinery that drive modern exploration, extraction, pipeline transportation, and chemical refining. This extends past generic IT environments to shield highly specialized assets, including flow computers, safety instrumented systems, precision drilling rigs, valve controls, tank ambient sensors, and distributed control systems (DCS).

In highly connected operations, corporate networks are inextricably tied to shop floor and pipeline environments. Cyberattackers frequently exploit unmonitored third-party remote connections or corporate email vectors to penetrate the industrial perimeter. Once inside, ransomware can transfer laterally to alter PLC configurations, disrupt pipeline pressure systems, or compromise safety loops — resulting in catastrophic physical outages, regional fuel shortages, and massive revenue drop-offs.

Claroty utilizes flexible, SaaS-driven discovery models integrated into your existing industrial network infrastructure and configuration management databases (CMDB). This completely eliminates the need to ship heavy physical equipment or plan intrusive site downtime, providing a unified, real-time inventory of newly discovered or acquired digital assets across globally distributed multi-plant environments within hours of deployment.

Yes. Replacing highly certified, multi-million dollar extraction or refining machinery simply because it cannot support modern operating system patches is commercially impossible. Claroty changes the paradigm by utilizing precise network segmentation, virtual baseline simulation, and AI-powered exposure management, neutralizing active cyber threats natively on the wire without requiring direct device modifications or intrusive overhauls.

As national regulatory bodies classify energy logistics and fuel distribution networks as critical infrastructure, organizations are legally mandated to demonstrate strict cyber oversight. Claroty automatically monitors, logs, and maps your facility-level OT and CPS device behaviors directly against regional compliance standards like the US TSA Directives, the EU's NIS2 Directive, and Australia's SOCI Act, automatically generating dynamic, audit-ready compliance data packs.
