Oil & Gas

In the era of the industrial revolution which created electronic systems and networks to control the production, transmission and distribution of electric power, gas and heat, the energy sector has become vulnerable to piracy, cyber threats and any network breaches that could lead to a real security and environmental catastrophe as energy plants form critical national infrastructures. From here emerges the importance of addressing information security threats to reduce their occurrence or the severity of their impact in case realized. Using the digital signature to encrypt the exchanged data across these systems and networks is one of the best steps to provide necessary protection and reduce risks and contributes significantly in making the energy sector comply with the ISO 27019 international standard.
