The vulnerabilities of the oil and gas industries to the physical disruption of pipelines and tankers are well-known. Groups like the National Petroleum Refinery Association (NPRA) are committed to ensuring the physical security of oil and gas critical infrastructure. Recently, the integration of industrial wireless solutions such as WLAN, ZigBee, WiMAX, and cellular technology into the IT infrastructure of oil and gas facilities has put a new spotlight on the vulnerabilitiy of oil and gas systems to cyber-attack.

While hardened refinery sites are typically well-secured, the backdoor exposure of wellheads and the SCADA systems of pipeline and offshore operations leave them vulnerable to cyber-attack. Responsible IT groups are searching for cyber-security solutions that can prevent everything from breaches of the perimeter to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Fortunately, Uniloc's NetAnchor has the most secure and cost-effective solution available.
