Recent discussions with industrial teams have underscored how rapidly the digital “threatscape” is evolving across global energy systems, from oil and gas to chemicals, specialty gases, power generation, and transmission and distribution networks, says ABS Consulting Technical Director, Global Energy, Marco Ayala.
The petrochemical sector must manage cyber risk amid supply chain and cyber vulnerabilities.
Facing volatile energy prices, margin compression, supply chain disruptions and evolving regulatory requirements, the petrochemical sector demands practical solutions to help operators manage these interconnected risks.
As digital transformation continues to redefine operations, protecting industrial control systems from cyber threats remains a top priority.
Here’s how to start planning for long-term risk reduction and resilience in 2026:
Start Buffering to Stay Ahead of Cyber Risk
With more IT and operational technology (OT) systems converging across industrial operations, the entire energy value chain is at risk. Systems have become even more complex, and complexity breeds vulnerabilities from both the technical and human sides.
Already, there’s a form of “normalization of deviance” elevating risk in industrial settings without an objective third-party assessment of emerging technologies—and the industry often doesn’t act until an incident occurs.
In 2026 and beyond, an invisible, and what some analysts estimate to be a
