Refining & Terminals
Refinery & Terminal Cybersecurity in Venezuela
A refinery or terminal is a high-value target: process control systems, custody metering, tank management and loading logistics coexist with contractors, vendors and corporate networks. We protect that ecosystem with physical presence in the country's refining regions.
The challenge of a refining complex
In complexes like Paraguana (the country's largest) or the eastern terminals, the attack surface is enormous: process DCS, safety instrumented systems (SIS), metering, tanks, weighbridges and dozens of rotating contractors. An incident doesn't just stop production — it can have physical safety consequences.
- •Process control systems (DCS) and safety instrumented systems (SIS)
- •Custody metering and tank inventory management
- •Multiple contractors and vendors with network access
- •Convergence with the corporate network and dispatch logistics
How we protect the complex
We isolate process and safety (SIS) systems from the rest of the network, tightly control third-party access and monitor 24/7. Our presence in Punto Fijo (Paraguana) and Puerto La Cruz enables on-site response.
- •Segmentation and protection of the DCS and SIS (which must never be touched)
- •Contractor access control with Zero Trust and time-boxed credentials
- •Security of custody metering and inventory data
- •Operational continuity: backup, DR and ransomware protection
- •24/7 SOC with on-site response from our western and eastern offices
FAQ
Do you have presence near the refining regions?
Yes. We have offices in Punto Fijo (Paraguana complex) and Puerto La Cruz/Lecheria, plus Maracaibo and Maturin, enabling on-site response across the western and eastern oil regions.
Physical presence in the oil regions
On-site response across the western and eastern oil regions, not just from Caracas.
