The chicken or the egg: Deciding between digital transformation and cybersecurity
As companies adopt new technologies to make business more effective and efficient, new risks emerge, and old risks evolve. This requires great cybersecurity that has tools and processes built to adapt to change with minimal effort.

The exploration, drilling, completion and production operations of offshore and onshore oil and gas are experiencing increased cyber incidents. Malicious actors are seeking to extort owners and operators for money and sensitive data, or distort physical processes and disrupt operations. Outdated OT systems, flat networks, insecure IoT devices, vulnerable control systems and porous IT environments are high-value targets. Despite this reality, technology is not the enemy.
The evolution of operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) in oil and gas operations have moved from on-premises connectivity between systems, often using ethernet, to connecting multiple sites and often remote locations, to the expansion of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) architectures, and increasingly, the adoption of cloud technologies.
As companies adopt new technologies to make business more effective and efficient, new risks emerge, and old risks evolve. Common risks, including copycat cyber criminals and disorganized dark web scammers, continue to look for low-hanging fruit and easy-to-target enterprises, Fig. 1. An emerging and more concerning cyber-physical risk has been the evolution of “killware”—malware focused on causing harm to workers or populations in close proximity to a targeted system or enterprise.
