Workforce Data Security in the Oil & Gas Industry
Cyber threats to oil and gas production — both cyber espionage campaigns and damaging cyber-attacks — are increasing, according to a white paper published by Oil and Gas IQ.
“Securing workforce and supply chain access to your data is a vital component of your defense against these cyber threats,” the paper says. “A robust Vendor Management System (VMS) can help protect your data and provide visibility into who has access to both your physical and intellectual property at all times.”
The white paper covers:
* Why your non-employee workforce data should be independently audited and certified
* Why single-tenant architecture keeps your data more secure
* Why the physical location of your data centre matters
* Why you should know your VMS provider’s disaster contingency plans
