Offshore facilities present an especially attractive target due to their perceived vulnerability and the catastrophic damage that can arise from a successful attack. In light of this, offshore operators can no longer delay protecting their operational technology (OT) assets. They must come together with partners and government to bridge the cyber readiness gap and realize the full potential of digitalization.
