Robust, Compliant Web Security for Oil & Gas Providers

Comprehensive, cloud-based protection for sites, applications, services, and APIs.

Stringent Requirements

A robust web app and API protection isn't just a best practice—it's a necessity for maintaining operational integrity, regulatory compliance, and the security of critical infrastructure.

Operational Continuity

Web apps and APIs often manage sensitive, real-time data crucial to the operational efficiency of our energy production, distribution, and supply chain systems. A breach in these interfaces could disrupt core processes, potentially leading to operational downtime, which can cost millions in lost revenue and penalties, and even compromise public safety.

Protection of Critical Infrastructure

The Oil & Gas sector is classified as critical infrastructure, meaning any disruption or exploitation of our systems can have national security implications. Threat actors often target vulnerable APIs and web apps to infiltrate systems, giving them the ability to manipulate processes, steal data, or hold operations hostage through ransomware.

Safeguarding Intellectual Property

Oil & Gas industry invests billions in research and technology to stay competitive. Web apps and APIs often serve as entry points to sensitive data, such as drilling techniques, proprietary formulas, and environmental data. A compromise could result in the loss of valuable intellectual property, weakening our competitive edge.

Regulatory Compliance

Oil & Gas operate under strict regulatory frameworks such as the Oil & Gas Cybersecurity Action Plan (OGCAP), GDPR, and others. A security breach can lead to heavy fines, litigation, and long-term damage.

Increased Attack Surface

The shift to digital transformation has led to a surge in web applications and APIs being used across the industry. This has exponentially increased the attack surface. Securing these endpoints is essential in preventing unauthorized access, data leaks, and tampering with critical business functions.

Supply Chain Integrity

Many web apps and APIs interact with third-party vendors, contractors, and service providers. Any compromise in these external-facing systems could jeopardize the security of our entire supply chain, leading to delays, resource shortages, or even manipulation of the supply and demand process.

VIRTIS Provides Complete Web Security for Oil & Gas Organizations

VIRTIS runs in the cloud as a reverse proxy, blocking hostile traffic before it reaches your network.

  • Complete web security suite includes a powerful, precise WAF, all-layer DDoS protection, advanced bot management, global load balancing, and more.
  • Next-generation bot detection: Today’s threat actors use sophisticated bots, many of which can evade detection by traditional web security solutions. VIRTIS is a pioneer in advanced human/bot identification technologies, defeating even the latest generation of malicious bots which can mimic human behavior.
  • Fully managed: Your VIRTIS platform is kept up-to-date by a team of security experts. You always have the latest protection, with no effort required from your IT staff.

Unmatched Protection

  • VIRTIS provides powerful security that meets the unique needs of Oil & Gas organizations, including many benefits that other solutions do not offer.
  • Dedicated Virtual Private Clouds for every account. This eliminates the multi-tenancy vulnerabilities that other solutions have, while reducing latency to negligible levels (typically three milliseconds or less).
  • Flexible architecture: VIRTIS runs natively on all the top-tier cloud platforms, with your choice of configuration (most of our customers choose to run it within their own accounts). VIRTIS can also be configured and run in hybrid mode.
  • Full protection for APIs and services: VIRTIS includes API schema ingestion, validation, enforcement, and reverse-engineering prevention. It also includes a full client-side SDK for mobile/native applications.
  • Next-generation threat detection. VIRTIS includes dynamic rulesets, extensive rule customization features, and the most powerful ACL capabilities in the industry. The platform is self-learning and adaptive, using Machine Learning to recognize, and adapt to, changing Internet traffic conditions. Even as new web threats arise, your sites, applications, and endpoints remain secure.
