Securing Global Oil and Gas Wealth

Energy, Oil and Gas wealth is considered as one of the most valued commodities across the globe. As the revenue in the sector spikes, the security risks it faces also increases with more cyber and physical attacks taking place in the recent years. The Oil and gas industry is one of the most lucrative industries and also one of the most dangerous. The sector is already engaged in technology to maximize and optimize their efficiencies with AI Video Analytics being implemented to address these threats.

Some examples are

Thermal, infrared and night-vision camera:

Thermal, infrared and night-vision cameras are installed at the utilities to keep track of the consistency of every access attempt to a facility, machine, or asset. The security team will get alerts on any kind of breach, vandalism, or threat within seconds. The alerts are also sent to administrators if the breach is to the physical asset. The threat surface or the unit can be jeopardized from access to stop the damage.

Monitoring machinery failures

Machinery failures are common in a mechanized environment. However, the cost and time it takes to rectify and reinstall the machinery is a lengthy process that cripples the normal functionalities. Utilities are using video analytics to identify potential equipment and process failures, which could be just as devastating as a security incident. The video analytics also keeps track of the machinery conditions even before it stops functioning.
