Oil & Gas
Cygard for Industrial IoT in Oil & Gas
Oil and gas operations rely on remote, aging, and often unsecured systems—many of which weren’t built with cybersecurity in mind. Flat networks, outdated devices, and limited visibility create major blind spots, making it easy for attackers to move laterally and disrupt production or safety.
As more OT systems connect to the internet, the risk of downtime, data loss,
and physical damage continues to grow.
Key Challenges Cygard Secures in Oil & Gas Industry
-
Aging Infrastructure
Many oil and gas systems rely on devices that were installed decades ago. These legacy assets often lack basic security features, making them easy entry points for attackers. Without regular updates or monitoring, they're exposed to growing risks over time.
-
Interconnected Networks
OT networks in oil and gas are rarely segmented. This flat architecture allows a single compromise to spread quickly across systems, threatening safety, productivity, and even regional supply. Cygard gives visibility into network topology and highlights weak points that need isolation
-
No Predictive Maintenance
Old equipment can fail randomly, risking safety and production. Cygard helps monitor asset health and anticipate failures with obsolescence data and predictive analytics.
-
Unsecured remote sites
From offshore rigs to desert pipelines, remote operations make visibility and access difficult. Cygard uses rugged hardware, 4G LTE, and GPS tracking to deliver real-time insights—even in isolated, harsh, or high-risk conditions.
-
No Real-Time Threat Detection
Cybersecurity should enhance, not interrupt operations. Cygard runs discreetly without disrupting production. It scans passively, works during power loss with battery backup, and gives you insights without adding complexity.
-
Limited Asset Visibility
Without knowing what’s connected, it’s impossible to protect it. Cygard automatically discovers assets, maps them geographically, and shows key details like age, type, and risk.
