據(jù)烴加工新聞7月17日消息稱，GlobalData表示，油氣行業(yè)的快速數(shù)字化使該行業(yè)越來越容易受到網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊。這家領(lǐng)先的數(shù)據(jù)和分析公司指出，企業(yè)現(xiàn)在必須根據(jù)數(shù)字化戰(zhàn)略加強其網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全態(tài)勢，否則將面臨財務(wù)和聲譽受損的風(fēng)險。

GlobalData的最新報告《石油和天然氣的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全—專題研究》顯示，2021年5月發(fā)生的燃油管道公司colonial的管道遭受網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊事件強調(diào)了該行業(yè)對網(wǎng)絡(luò)威脅的脆弱性，刺激了網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全支出的增加。因此，GlobalData估計，到2025年，能源行業(yè)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全收入將達到100億美元。

GlobalData的專題分析師Francesca Gregory評論道：“第二季度石油產(chǎn)品的需求下降了14%，導(dǎo)致價格暴跌。為了在日益增長的財務(wù)壓力下保持競爭力，油氣公司在數(shù)字技術(shù)上投入了大量資金，以簡化操作和降低成本，專利趨勢分析證明了這一點?！?/p>

根據(jù)GlobalData的數(shù)據(jù)，在2019年10月至2021年4月期間，石油和天然氣公司在人工智能(AI)、區(qū)塊鏈、云計算、物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IoT）、機器人、虛擬現(xiàn)實和增強現(xiàn)實等領(lǐng)域的專利發(fā)表總量增加了46%。

Cybersecurity spending in the energy industry will rise to US$10 billion by 2025

The rapid digitalisation of the oil and gas industry has made the industry increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, says GlobalData. The leading data and analytics company notes that companies must now fortify their cybersecurity posture in line with their digitalisation strategy or risk financial and reputational harm.

GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Cybersecurity in Oil and Gas – Thematic Research’ reveals that the Colonial Pipeline attack in May 2021, which hammered home the sector’s vulnerability to cyber threats, spurred an increase in cybersecurity spending. Consequently, GlobalData estimates cybersecurity revenues for the energy industry will reach US$10 billion by 2025.

Francesca Gregory, Thematic Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Demand for oil products fell 14% in 2Q20, causing prices to plummet. To stay competitive in the face of mounting financial pressure, oil and gas companies invested heavily in digital technologies to streamline operations and cut costs, which is evidenced by an analysis of patent trends.”

Oil and gas companies increased total patent publications across artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and virtual and augmented reality by 46% between October 2019 and April 2021, according to GlobalData.
