Orphaned accounts, shared passwords, and manual provisioning create silent but significant exposure across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. This solution brief breaks down the access control challenges unique to oil and gas and how to solve them.

What's Inside

  • Why access control is now directly tied to operational resilience, safety, and executive accountability
  • The three critical challenges: contractor access, emergency "break glass" scenarios, and disconnected site security
  • How to automate time-bound contractor and vendor access without orphaned accounts
  • Granular access control for OT and SCADA systems that don't natively support it
  • Shift-based access, offline enforcement, and full audit trails from exploration to refining
  • Compliance alignment with NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and API 1164
