Case Study: a global oil & gas company secures offshore drilling operations with Claroty

Global Oil & Gas Company discovers OT assets in 2 weeks with Claroty

A global oil and gas company faced significant cybersecurity challenges in its offshore drilling operations. Its contractor-managed mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) had fragmented OT networks vulnerable to spillover attacks from the IT network, relied heavily on third-party remote access it could not monitor, and suffered from a complete lack of OT asset visibility. The company turned to Claroty for a solution to assess and mitigate these risks to its operations' availability, reliability, and safety.

Claroty deployed its platform, including Continuous Threat Detection (CTD) and Secure Access, on top of the existing offshore infrastructure. This provided the company with an extreme level of visibility into all OT assets and communications within two weeks, integrated with their onshore SOC, and secured all remote access. As a result, the company proactively safeguarded its drilling operations, greatly improved IT/OT collaboration, and minimized risks introduced by third-party contractors.
