Case Study: Leading Oil and Gas Producers achieve stronger OT security and TSA compliance with Fortinet

How Oil-and-Gas Producers Are Tackling Cybersecurity Threats

Oil and gas producers—ranging from a midstream pipeline operator to a global petrochemical company—faced growing cybersecurity risk as IT and OT environments converged. OT devices often lack modern controls, attacks can cause operational, environmental, and safety harm, and regulators such as the TSA require segmentation, monitoring, and incident planning across widely distributed, remote sites.

Both organizations implemented the Fortinet Security Fabric—FortiGate NGFWs, FortiSwitch, FortiManager and FortiGuard OT Security Service—to segment IT and OT traffic, inspect industrial protocols, and centralize management. The deployment delivered improved networkwide visibility, stronger breach detection and response, compliance with TSA segmentation requirements, streamlined remote deployment and device management across thousands of sites, and reduced operational costs and administrative burden.
