Discuss the latest measures to improve cyber security in the oil & gas industry with Centrica, National Grid, Eni, Nexen Petroleum, Tullow Oil & more | O&G Cyber Security
London, Southwark (PRWEB UK) 8 July 2014 -- According to Frost and Sullivan total income in the market will reach 3.75 billion dollars by 2021, compared to 1.5 billion in 2014. The market for natural gas and oil infrastructure cyber security will be one of the most quickly-expanding areas in the entire cyber security market. Cybersecurity is critical to the infrastructure of the oil and natural gas industry. Sophisticated attacks have redefined the security reality for the energy sector, and oil and gas security professionals must come together to learn and network with industry experts. Oil and gas companies mostly have kept quiet about breaches of their computer security systems, but they can learn a lot by sharing information.
