“Hack of Saudi Plant Targeted Safety System,” The Wall Street Journal, January 19, 2018 B4. Cyberattack focused not on the theft of information, but on a critical emergency safety shut-off system.
So, this is more about information security than it is about information governance. Or is it? This is the type of attack that keeps the information security folks awake at night. A big deal in the oil patch.
Who’s responsible? The vendor of the equipment (and software) that was hacked? Or the owner of the plant that had the equipment on-line?
Do your company have information that is critical to the safety of your operations? Who’s responsible for protecting that from outside attack?
