Modernize and Transform Oil and Gas Cyber Security

Readiness

Traditional classroom training can get expensive. Project Ares

enables your team to train against real-world scenarios and threats,

anytime, anywhere, for a much lower cost.

Project Ares is a gamified, immersive cyber learning virtual range

that can help oil and gas cyber teams automate and augment their

security. Realistic scenarios engage teams in problem-solving and

analysis to build state-of-the-art cyber skills using real-world tools

on emulated networks.

To increase cyber team performance in IT and OT for oil and gas sectors,

organizations can adopt continual learning opportunities for teams to grow

in cyber skill and competency to stop threats before they hit a network.

The information retention rate for traditional classroom training is 5%.

Active training methods in Project Ares increase that rate to 75%. The

platform allows your team to practice their skills against the latest threats.

Project Ares, equipped with powerful AI, aggregates best practices from

player behavior which you can then teach to your entire team. Team

performance is elevated as best practices are collected and taught.

“Many critical infrastructure sectors, like oil and gas, have the added challenge of

protecting both the IT infrastructure and the OT infrastructure SCADA devices.  Finding

qualified Cyber security professionals who understand the anatomy of these complex

types of attacks is very difficult and it is more important than ever to train staff in

realistic scenarios so they can protect this essential sector.

There are many facilities that supply diesel oil, gasoline, heating oil, kerosene, natural gas

and more to the hundreds of thousands of people across the United States. Even the smallest

supply chain or information system infiltration can affect every aspect of our lives
