Oil & Gas Cybersecurity Summit

Operational Security Success

Chairman: Doug Wylie
CPE Credits: 8
Summit Date: October 1, 2018
Training Dates: October 2-6, 2018

Protecting critical infrastructure has never been more important. In recent years, we’ve seen highly sophisticated attacks on oil and gas systems that have interrupted operations and caused damage. As organizations apply automation to improve productivity and efficiency, security teams are racing to find innovative approaches to safeguard systems and mitigate risk.

The SANS Oil & Gas Cybersecurity Summit will bring together leading experts to discuss trends, challenges, and opportunities. Industry leaders will address recent attacks and current threats, integrated IT/OT security operations, best practices, and lessons learned to benefit the community.

Join us at the Oil & Gas Cybersecurity Summit to further develop your skills and build a plan for achieving operational security success.

The Summit will explore the following topics:

• Incident response workflows – from detection to recovery
• Security in the supply chain – upstream, midstream, and downstream
• Ever-flattening architecture and the security effects
• Security key performance indicators (KPIs) and dashboards
• Security Operation Centers (SOCs) for the new integrated enterprise
