Chemical & Petrochemical Cybersecurity
Managing operations is complex, with safety and security vital when dealing with hazardous materials, as well as ensuring critical data is protected. An OT cybersecurity firm with chemical and petrochemical expertise is essential for ensuring a robust and resilient organization that is safeguarded against the latest threats.
The Chemical sector is considered an essential business segment that is subjected to regulations. Cyber protection and security is one of the key priorities for this sector. While technology and digital transformation can provide a range of innovative solutions for chemical manufacturers, using connected devices and monitoring systems can put these environments at risk. Operational safety, environmental hazards, impact on the community, and business operations are all risks in the event of a security breach. A robust OT cybersecurity strategy is essential for chemical enterprises wanting to explore the benefits of technology to enhance their operations. Working to reduce cyber risks while also protecting your existing manufacturing systems, Mangan Cybersecurity has the expertise you need to safeguard your chemical operations.
Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)
Unlike other critical infrastructure sectors, the federal government regulates cybersecurity for the chemical sector. Under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS), chemical facilities must meet comprehensive cybersecurity requirements that address the protection of business networks and process control systems.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
Beyond CFATS, the chemical sector has also been actively engaged with the federal government as the National Institute of Standards and Technology moves forward with implementing a cybersecurity framework in response to Executive Order 13650. The Chemical Sector Cybersecurity Framework Implementation Guidance was developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help Chemical Sector owners evaluate their cybersecurity posture. Operators can use this voluntary framework to improve their security.
