Introduction

Oil and Gas Risk and Security is all about people, plant, equipment, and procedures. Even with the best intentions these can and will often have gaps and weaknesses that may not always been seen from within the organisation. Oil & Gas control systems that control transport and storage of petroleum products deserve the highest level of protection from SCADA security and control system security threats.  Occupational safety, environmental safety and public safety priorities demand reliable and trustworthy security industrial control systems to facilitate human oversight of complex physical processes. Security threats from the most commonplace malware to today’s pervasive targeted attacks of all persuasions must all be addressed and mitigated.
