Industrial Security (OT/ICS)
OT/ICS & SCADA Security for Oil & Gas Operators in Venezuela
The OT networks that control wells, pipelines, refineries and terminals were designed to run in isolation, not to withstand targeted cyberattacks. We protect these environments without stopping production, through IT/OT segmentation, asset visibility and 24/7 monitoring aligned with IEC 62443.
Why oil & gas infrastructure is a target
Attacks on energy critical infrastructure (Industroyer, TRITON/TRISIS, Colonial Pipeline-style ransomware) proved a motivated actor can halt physical operations. In Venezuela this is compounded by aging infrastructure, unpatched legacy PLCs and SCADA, and pressure to bring production back online fast — a high-risk combination.
- •PLCs, RTUs and SCADA systems running old, unsupported firmware
- •Flat networks where IT and OT share the same broadcast domain
- •Industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC) with no authentication or encryption
- •Vendor and contractor remote access that is hard to audit
Our approach: protect without stopping production
We don't ask you to shut the plant down. We start with passive OT asset discovery and progressive FortiGate segmentation between zones and conduits (Purdue / IEC 62443 model), so that a compromise in IT never reaches the control network.
- •OT asset inventory and visibility (what is connected and how it talks)
- •IT/OT segmentation and per-zone micro-segmentation with an industrial firewall
- •OT threat detection and protocol anomaly monitoring in passive mode
- •Secure remote access (ZTNA) for vendors and contractors, with session recording
- •24/7 monitoring from our SOC and incident response
Compliance and reporting to headquarters
We align controls to the frameworks your parent company already expects — IEC 62443, NIST CSF and NIST 800-82 for OT — and deliver executive reporting your corporate team can audit, without you having to build a local security team.
FAQ
Do you need to shut the plant down to deploy?
No. We begin with passive discovery and planned segmentation during maintenance windows. The goal is zero impact on production.
Do you work with SCADA and PLCs from different vendors?
Yes. We are automation-vendor agnostic (Schneider, Siemens, Rockwell, Honeywell) and secure the network that interconnects them with an industrial firewall and monitoring.
