The global oil and gas industry is more vulnerable to cyberattacks than you might think, a threat that is going to be one of the industry’s key challenges in 2018.
Almost two-thirds of oil and gas companies have recently had a serious cybersecurity incident, and only a small minority of them felt confident that their defense capabilities match the threats, a new survey from EY has revealed.
The survey, which involved 40 respondents from the oil and gas industry, found that 60 percent had recently had a significant cybersecurity incident, but only 15 percent have what EY calls a robust incident response program. Even more discouraging was the finding that just 17 percent of respondents felt they are very likely to detect a sophisticated cyberattack in the future.

@orgecol I could not find anything specific to this article, but Deloitte published a report last year that went a little deeper.
