Reimagining Scada Security: Zero Trust in Oil & Gas Operational Environments

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are the digital backbone of oil and gas operations but they were never designed with cybersecurity in mind.

As these systems are increasingly connected to IT networks, cloud services, and remote operator consoles, they become exposed to sophisticated threats. With Zero Trust, a model that treats every identity, device, and connection as untrusted until verified has become essential.

While Zero Trust is becoming the cybersecurity standard across industries, its adoption in SCADA environments comes with unique challenges. In this whitepaper, we'll explores how the Zero Trust model can be realistically applied to oil and gas SCADA systems, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to secure executive buy-in.
