Cybersecurity and AI training for oil and gas and energy companies
Energy companies combine high-value payments, complex supply chains and operational technology that keeps plants running. Attackers know it, and people are usually the way in.
The risks energy companies face
- Ransomware that disrupts operations and logistics
- Fake invoices and bank-detail changes from contractors and suppliers
- Phishing aimed at engineers, procurement and finance
- Weak links through contractors with remote access
- Risks where office IT connects to operational technology (OT) at sites
What staff training should cover
- Recognising phishing and impersonation, including by phone and WhatsApp
- Payment verification for contractor and supplier invoices
- Safe use of removable media and remote access at sites
- Reporting incidents quickly, including at remote locations
- Approved, safe use of AI tools for reports and analysis
AI in energy operations
AI tools can speed up reporting, document review, HSE summaries and data analysis. Teams need training to use them productively and to keep confidential technical and commercial data out of public tools.
