Data Security Risks + Chemical Plants

What: A newly released Government Office of Accountability report highlights the need for more cybersecurity at chemical plants

Why?

  • outdated systems.
    • There have been no upgrades to cybersecurity protocols in 10+ years
  • no inspector oversight.
    • There is no tracking of the cybersecurity knowledge of inspectors at chemical plants + training standards
  • cyber integration.
    • Better track facilities’ cyber integration levels
