SpecialReport: Production Operations
based on industry collaboration and guidance. As a rule, however, there always
should be an identifiable business reason-whether it is to improve safety or
productivity-for connecting any given
asset. Convenience never should be the
driving force behind any digital transformation strategy.
Intrusion detection systems alert administrators when unauthorized connections are attempted or made, but they
only identify attacks; they don't stop
them. Intrusion prevention systems (IPS)
actually can block connections according
to preconfigured policies and definitions.
Subscription services can be employed
to update malicious connection information
and identify malware and command and
control servers. IPS subscriptions provide
the benefit of blocking known malicious
connections based on shared industry and
global cybersecurity intelligence.

Other Considerations
Other fundamental considerations for
ensuring safe and secure digital oil field
operations include:
· Leveraging behavioral analysis;
· Performing system audits and assessments;
· Carefully selecting equipment and
service vendors;
· Properly training personnel on both
technology and procedures; and
· Using key performance indicators
to bench mark cybersecurity performance.
Behavioral analysis techniques include
polices and workflows designed to flag
abnormal behavior in both personnel and
systems. A combination of controls-such
as a security incident and event manager
that aggregates logs from security and
other systems, along with an intrusion or
prevention detection system-put both
electronic detection policies and opera-

tional cyber-response capabilities in place
to speed the detection of abnormal behavior and give security teams more time
to detect and neutralize an attack. Deploying carefully designed electronic and
physical workflow authorization procedures can help to protect critical processes
as well as implement change management
strategies across organizations.
Instituting regular audits and assessments to identify security gaps is an essential component of any successful
strategy, but it is also important to review
the assessment process itself periodically
to determine its effectiveness in finding
and addressing threats. This may involve
auditing systems to achieve the appropriate security posture based on the risk
tolerance determined in the risk assessment process, which if thorough, will
identify gaps either in the technology
apparatus or the implementation of poli-
