Upstream & Offshore
Upstream & Offshore Cybersecurity in Venezuela
Production fields — the Orinoco Belt, the Lake Maracaibo basin and offshore operations — combine remote sites, limited connectivity and wellhead automation that was rarely designed with cybersecurity in mind. We adapt protection to that reality.
Remote sites, weak connectivity
In upstream, security has to work over satellite or radio links, intermittent power and with no on-site IT technician. We deploy controls that operate on low bandwidth and are managed centrally from our SOC.
- •Wellhead automation and telemetry (RTU/SCADA) distributed and exposed
- •Satellite/radio links with limited bandwidth and latency
- •No field IT staff: everything must be managed remotely
- •Drilling and service contractors connecting their own equipment
Protection built for the field
Centralized management from FortiCloud/SOC, rugged firewalls at each site, Zero Trust access for contractors and configuration backups to recover fast after an outage.
- •Managed per-site firewall with a secure tunnel to the operations center
- •Zero Trust access (ZTNA) for drilling, wireline and services
- •Telemetry protected and segmented from the corporate network
- •100% remote management and monitoring, no reliance on field staff
FAQ
Does it work over satellite links and sites with no IT staff?
Yes. We design the deployment to run on low bandwidth and be fully managed remotely from our SOC — precisely for isolated fields in the Belt or the lake.
