Case Study: a North American oil and gas company achieves secure segregated control network implementation with Point B

Securing Critical Oil and Gas Data

A large North American oil and gas company faced significant security vulnerabilities after an audit revealed its critical well-control systems were operating on an inadequately secured corporate network. The company engaged Point B to help design and implement a segregated control network to address this risk during a period of organizational turmoil.

Point B began by conducting a detailed stakeholder analysis and visiting field sites to directly understand employee needs. This collaborative, on-the-ground approach was key to designing a solution that minimized operational impact and built trust. Point B managed the entire implementation, including developing training materials and deploying a large team for in-person field support during the roll-out. The result was a smooth and successful transition that provided the required security, maintained access to key data for management, and proactively met a potential regulatory requirement.
