A Graphical Adversarial Risk Analysis Model for Oil and Gas Drilling Cybersecurity
This addresses cybersecurity challenges for oil and gas drilling operations, but it is incremental as it builds on existing Adversarial Risk Analysis methods.
The authors tackled cybersecurity risk assessment in oil and gas drilling by proposing a graphical model based on Adversarial Risk Analysis, which provides a more formal and comprehensive analysis while using standard business language.
Oil and gas drilling is based, increasingly, on operational technology, whose cybersecurity is complicated by several challenges. We propose a graphical model for cybersecurity risk assessment based on Adversarial Risk Analysis to face those challenges. We also provide an example of the model in the context of an offshore drilling rig. The proposed model provides a more formal and comprehensive analysis of risks, still using the standard business language based on decisions, risks, and value.
