Midstream / Pipelines
Pipeline & Midstream Cybersecurity in Venezuela
Pipeline transport relies on SCADA distributed over hundreds of kilometers: pump and compression stations, valves and metering, often at remote, unmanned sites. An attack can cause overpressure, spills or supply disruption.
The midstream risk
Unlike a concentrated plant, a pipeline is a geographically extended attack surface. Pipeline control systems, leak detection and telemetry travel over links that were rarely designed with cybersecurity in mind, and a compromised access can manipulate pressures or silence alarms.
- •Pipeline SCADA and RTUs at remote, unmanned stations
- •Leak detection systems (LDS) that depend on data integrity
- •Pump and compression stations controlled remotely
- •Long communication links (radio, satellite, cellular) exposed
How we protect the pipeline
We secure telemetry and valve-control integrity, segment each station and monitor protocol anomalies 24/7, with response capability from our western and eastern oil-region offices.
- •Per-station industrial firewall with a secure tunnel to the control center
- •Integrity protection for telemetry and the leak detection system
- •Per-node segmentation to contain a local compromise
- •24/7 monitoring of anomalies in the pipeline SCADA
FAQ
Do you protect leak detection systems?
Yes. We protect the integrity of LDS and pipeline SCADA data so an attacker cannot mask a leak or trigger a dangerous valve or pump maneuver.
