Oil & Gas

Pipeline SCADA, compressor and pump stations, and terminals subject to the TSA security directives. We design segmentation that satisfies the directive and survives the field.

The exposure

The directive is the floor, not the ceiling.

TSA SD Pipeline-2021-02 requires segmentation between IT and OT and a plan for degraded operation. Field sites with satellite backhaul and shared vendor credentials make both hard.
