Of all the important areas we cover for our customers, the genuine importance of a modernized cyber posture stands out. Vulnerabilities are constantly being found and immediate alerting/remediation to avoid downtime is indispensable for every business we work with.
🔍 Cybersecurity Spotlight Work happens everywhere: office desks, field trucks, control rooms. No matter where it happens, downtime is costly and security gaps in the field can be just as dangerous as those at HQ. 5 ways to strengthen OT & IT security: ✅ MFA Everywhere Use Multi-Factor Authentication for cloud logins and field dashboards to stop stolen credential attacks. ✅ Phishing Hits the Field Too Fake “safety incident” emails can carry malware. Train everyone, not just office staff. ✅ No Shared Passwords Use role-based access, password rotation, and MFA. “RigManager1!” should not be the master key. ✅ Patch Legacy Systems Outdated HMI and SCADA tools are hacker bait. We’ve seen vulnerabilities remain open for over 7 years. ✅ Remove Orphaned Accounts Former contractor access is an easy target. Audit Active Directory and VPN accounts regularly. Velocigo helps clients secure every layer, from the control room to the well pad.
