With recent and ongoing cyber attacks affecting global operations and costing millions of dollars worth of data being hacked and manipulated, the risk in shifting to a digital platform is higher than ever.

The following workshop will guide the oil and gas industry in the region on an effective cyber security strategy to keep data as secure and confidential as possible.
