Escalating cyberthreats in the oil and gas industry underscore the need for collaboration between public and private sectors to mitigate this national security risk, and much of this responsibility falls on individual pipeline operators who need to comply with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Security Directive.

This poses unique difficulties for operators, who need to stay informed of dynamic security threats while managing their pipeline networks and adapting to evolving regulatory demands.
