Natural Gas & Offshore
Natural Gas & Offshore Cybersecurity in Venezuela
Natural gas is gaining weight in Venezuela, with offshore fields such as Perla in the Gulf of Venezuela (operated by Cardon IV, a joint venture with Repsol and Eni participation) and onshore processing plants. Platforms, control umbilicals and treatment plants demand cybersecurity adapted to the marine, remote environment.
What makes offshore gas different
A gas platform or plant combines critical process control, safety instrumented systems (SIS) that prevent leaks and explosions, and connectivity to shore over microwave or satellite. Physical isolation is no protection: remote access and equipment vendors are the way in.
- •Gas process control and compression on the platform
- •Safety instrumented systems (SIS) that are life-critical
- •Platform-to-shore microwave/satellite links
- •Turbine and compressor vendor access for remote maintenance
Our protection for gas and offshore
We segment process and SIS, control vendor access with Zero Trust and monitor 24/7, with fully remote management designed for platforms with no on-site IT.
- •Strict segmentation of the SIS from process control
- •Zero Trust, recorded access for turbine/compressor vendors
- •Protection of the platform-to-shore link
- •Remote monitoring and management, no reliance on platform IT
FAQ
Do you work with offshore gas operations?
Yes. We adapt controls to the offshore environment (microwave/satellite connectivity, no on-site IT, life-critical SIS) and manage everything remotely from our SOC.
