Mergers and acquisitions in any industry can introduce unforeseen cyber risk. As M&A is booming in the Oil & Gas industry, we're hosting a conversational three-part series on #cybersecurity challenges in Oil & Gas M&A. Across three brief, info-packed episodes, Chase Snyder and Joe Blazeck will dive into the top risks, and how to mitigate them. Tune in to Episode 1 Tuesday, July 16 to learn more about these major challenges: 🖥 🖨 Connecting IT operations from the acquired organization can create visibility gaps and unmanaged attack surface 👨🔧 🔑 Credential management. Rapidly onboarding and offboarding many employees during a merger can result in weak authentication, stale credentials, and other risky gaps in identity security. 🏭 👷♀️ Operational assets at remote sites present their own security challenges when merging organizations. https://lnkd.in/g8s-_kta

As our oilfields, wellheads, and operations become digitized, the use of data to support financial and operational models makes cybersecurity a crucial and ever-evolving field in the oil and gas industry. The need to safeguard operations and proprietary information is more pressing than ever. With operations increasingly transitioning to the Cloud while still heavily dependent on field infrastructure, we will explore the delicate balance of determining "how much security" is necessary. We'll focus on managing operational cybersecurity risks, particularly in relation to data and data governance, and discuss strategies to assess these risks and operate with confidence. Join us for breakfast with Bryan Becker CEO, Class IV on October 29th or attend via teams.

Unsung Heroes of the Digital Realm: The IT Department In the heart of every successful organization pulses a core team, often unnoticed yet indispensable—the IT department. These are the unsung heroes who ensure the digital gears of the company turn smoothly, day in and day out. From safeguarding sensitive data against cyber threats to managing the complex networks that keep us connected, IT professionals work tirelessly behind the scenes. They are the problem-solvers who tackle technical challenges without fanfare, the silent guardians of our digital universe. When systems fail, they are the calm in the storm, restoring order with a blend of expertise and patience. And when technology evolves, they are the pioneers, steering us through the uncharted waters of innovation. So here's to the IT department—though they may not stand in the spotlight, their role is critical. They are the unsung heroes, the backbone of our digital infrastructure, and the architects of our technological future.
