Oil and Gas

From upstream exploration and drilling to midstream pipelines and downstream refining, the oil and gas industry encompasses some of the most operationally complex and geographically dispersed business environments on earth. IT and OT systems must work in concert to support real-time operations while remaining secure against an increasingly hostile cyber threat landscape.

Industrial control systems in oil and gas, including SCADA platforms, distributed control systems, and programmable logic controllers, form the backbone of field operations. These systems were designed for reliability and performance, not security. 360 Networks specializes in securing OT environments without disrupting operations, implementing monitoring and segmentation strategies that protect your control systems from both external and internal threats.

Remote workforce connectivity is a fundamental challenge for upstream and midstream operators. Field engineers, drilling crews, and pipeline inspection teams need secure, reliable access to corporate systems and real-time operational data from locations that may have limited or no traditional internet infrastructure. We design ruggedized, satellite-enabled connectivity solutions that keep your workforce connected wherever operations take them.

Environmental and safety regulations add another layer of IT complexity to oil and gas operations. EPA reporting, OSHA safety management systems, and state-level environmental monitoring platforms all require reliable data collection, transmission, and archiving. 360 Networks ensures the underlying IT infrastructure supporting these critical compliance functions is resilient, secure, and properly backed up.

Cyber threats to oil and gas infrastructure are not hypothetical. Pipeline operators, refineries, and offshore platforms have all experienced significant cyberattacks in recent years, with consequences ranging from operational shutdowns to environmental incidents. Our cybersecurity services layer endpoint protection, network detection, and threat intelligence to provide defense-in-depth for your most critical systems.

360 Networks brings deep operational awareness to the oil and gas sector, delivering IT and security services that account for the unique demands of 24/7 production environments, remote asset management, and rigorous regulatory oversight. We serve as your long-term technology partner, proactively managing your infrastructure so production never stops.
