Mitigating Supply Chain Malware Risks in Operational Technology: Challenges and Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

Author(s) Suchismita Chatterjee
Country United States
Abstract The oil and gas industry, a cornerstone of critical infrastructure, faces an escalating threat landscape due to supply chain malware targeting Operational Technology (OT). These attacks exploit vulnerabilities introduced by third-party vendors and the convergence of legacy OT systems with modern IT networks, posing significant risks to industrial processes, national energy resilience, and environmental safety. This article examines the unique risks in OT systems, highlighting cascading operational, financial, and environmental consequences. Grounded in NERC CIP-013 standards, it proposes mitigation strategies such as supply chain mapping, sandbox testing, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), robust vendor audits, and cybersecurity- integrated project management practices. By analyzing high- impact scenarios and lessons learned, it provides actionable insights to empower stakeholders in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
