Claroty empowers upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas companies with the industrial cybersecurity controls needed to protect their OT, IoT, IIoT, and BMS assets, as well as all other cyber-physical systems (CPS) in their OT environments.
Global fuel shortages, volatile barrel prices, record-high inflation, worsening source depletion, and growing prioritization of sustainability are among many factors driving digital transformation in oil & gas. From groundbreaking innovations that optimize exploration and production, to cloud connectivity that correlates real-time density and porosity data across platforms and pipelines to boost throughput, to robotic drilling and refining systems that enhance efficiency and safety while reducing emissions — the benefits of automation, IT/OT connectivity, and cyber-physical systems (CPS) are why their once-manual, analog counterparts are becoming relics of the past.
But for many oil & gas companies, these benefits are being outpaced by industrial cybersecurity risks. This unfortunate reality has repeatedly manifested in the form of ransomware and other cyber attacks that exploit security weaknesses in the CPS on which the availability, integrity, and safety of oil & gas operations and infrastructure rely. Mitigating these risks and, ultimately, gaining cyber and operational resilience requires a new approach that extends far beyond traditional, IT-oriented security solutions. Enter Claroty.
Explore the industry’s leading OT cybersecurity platform–enabling oil & gas organizations to protect critical assets regardless of scale, geographic spread, or maturity of existing programs.
Because of the demanding nature of oil production and international reliance on its outputs, even brief interruptions in operation can lead to substantial losses. The scenario becomes more complex as these oil and gas companies are faced with mounting regulatory pressure and increased competition. The increase in consumption and arrival of alternative energy sources is driving oil & gas companies to enhance their performance and streamline their processes.
Claroty helps oil and gas companies become operationally resilient and maximize their productivity by offering built-for-CPS cybersecurity solution that provides actionable insights that reduce cyber risk–comprised of our Exposure Management, Network Protection, Secure Access, and Threat Detection. Implementing the above solutions helps companies focus on production, drive innovation, and remain competitive in today’s connected landscape.
Protect Operational Integrity
As CPS become increasingly interconnected–simple, secure, and reliable access to operational networks has shifted from a convenience into a necessity.Traditional access solutions like VPNs and jump servers have proven increasingly ineffective and inefficient for providing access to industrial networks because they were not built for the unique operational constraints, security considerations, or personnel needs of their users.
Claroty xDome Secure Access (SA) is a purpose-built remote access solution catered to meet the specific needs of the OT domain. It operationalizes the balance between frictionless access and secure control over third-party interactions with CPS–enhancing productivity, reducing risk and administrative complexities, and ensuring compliance across both cloud and on-premises operations.
Secure Access to Operations
Due to the unique nature of oil and gas operations, IT solutions are generally incompatible with the variety of assets housed in these environments, leading to gaps in visibility. Additionally, the remote nature of oil & gas operations leads to assets and facilities that are spread over vast geographic areas with varying levels of connectivity. These gaps create a weak foundation on which additional security controls can be added in order to secure business-critical operations – no matter if it’s upstream, midstream, or downstream in the process.
Visibility is foundational to securing CPS — this is no different in the Oil & Gas sector. Achieving a comprehensive asset inventory of all OT, IoT, BAS, and other CPS across all drilling sites, pipelines, plants, and refineries is the first step towards cyber risk reduction. Claroty employs multiple, distinct discovery methods to solve the visibility challenge for oil & gas operators. Claroty’s asset discovery capabilities create a centralized inventory that serves as the foundation for CPS cybersecurity use cases such as exposure management, threat detection, and network protection.
OT Asset Visibility
The oil and gas sector is frequently a target of choice for cyber threats due to the valuable nature of its output and attachment to economic stability around the globe, underscoring the critical need for CPS threat detection. However, the unique assets used in these environments are not always compatible with IT-centric threat detection solutions – rendering them ineffective at detecting known and unknown threats.
Claroty deep expertise in assets enables us to continuously monitor their behaviors for known and emerging threats. Claroty’s automatically profiles all assets, communications, and processes in industrial networks to identify threat signatures, indicators of compromise, or to alert on critical change operations on OT assets. Claroty’s seamlessly integrates with existing IT tech stacks in order to bridge the IT-OT gap
OT Threat Detection
The NotPetya, Colonial Pipeline, and ARA Refinery ransomware attacks are just a few of the highly disruptive cybersecurity incidents that have affected oil & gas in recent years. Upticks in the frequency and impact of such incidents have since elicited robust responses from governments globally in the form of new regulations that mandate oil & gas companies to take action to secure their CPS and OT infrastructure.
Claroty’s industrial cybersecurity portfolio is purpose-built to satisfy regulatory requirements, implement industry standards, best practices, and frameworks, streamline audits, and minimize non-compliance. Reports for these standards can be customized within our solutions and scheduled for automatic export on specific internals, ensuring stakeholders and decision makers are always informed on the state of their production environment.
Regulations and Compliance
Despite most organizations having some level of security infrastructure in place, these tools are not always applicable or useful in industrial environments. This is because these tools lack the specialized knowledge on asset communication, business process, and architectural constraints that is required in order to properly apply their controls.
Claroty’s vast technical ecosystem includes ready-made integrations with a variety of asset management, SIEM, SOAR, network infrastructure, and other leading tools that enable you to further optimize workflows across multiple parts of your organization. Leveraging your existing tech stack with Claroty helps to extend core cybersecurity controls from those solutions into your CPS environment
Extend Existing Infrastructure
Securing the OT environments that underpin upstream, midstream, and/or downstream oil & gas operations and infrastructure requires following three key principles:
Asset visibility is foundational to industrial cybersecurity — which is why all segments of the oil & gas industry must attain a complete, real-time inventory of all OT, IoT, and BMS assets and other CPS across all drilling sites, platforms, pipelines, plants, and refineries. It’s also why Claroty is proud to deliver the industry-leading visibility our oil & gas customers need to secure the OT environments on which their critical assets and operations rely.
Since most CPS in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas use proprietary protocols and legacy systems, they are incompatible with IT-oriented solutions — but that doesn’t mean such solutions have no place in OT. Rather than require customers to expand their already-extensive tech stacks, Claroty integrates with them. As a result, our oil & gas customers can simply extend their existing tools and workflows from IT to OT.
Unlike their IT counterparts, most OT environments lack essential cybersecurity controls and consistent governance. Claroty eliminates this gap for our oil & gas customers. After providing visibility into all CPS and integrating your existing IT tools and workflows with OT, Claroty extends your existing IT controls to OT — unifying your security governance and driving all use cases on your journey to cyber and operational resilience.
The Claroty journey to cyber resilience empowers upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas companies to extend — and further optimize — the following cybersecurity use cases and governance areas from IT to OT:
Claroty’s automated asset discovery capabilities create a centralized inventory that serves as the foundation for all cyber resilience use cases, equipping oil & gas companies with real-time inventory of all OT, IoT, and BMS assets and all other CPS across your OT environment.
