SUMMARY

Cybersecurity Consulting and Penetration Testing for an Oil & Gas Company

"A team of cybersecurity engineers worked with a client in Oil & Gas testing their CRM system and ensuring confidentiality of sensitive business information."

A team of cybersecurity engineers worked with a client in Oil & Gas testing their CRM system and ensuring confidentiality of sensitive business information.

ABOUT THE CLIENT

The Client

A renowned brand name in the Oil & Gas industry with operations across many markets, the company wanted to make sure their internal system was secure throughout all their locations and their sensitive data protected.

THE CHALLENGE
SOLUTION

What We Delivered

A team of cybersecurity experts evaluated the company’s internal system in order to uncover potential vulnerabilities. The team conducted penetration testing and found a number of system faults. Our check helped identify several weak spots, the exploitation of which could give access to all data, cause information leaks and modifications, and lead to considerable losses financially (GDPR fines) and operationally (frozen payments due to the inability to connect to the payments system), not to mention the loss of their stellar reputation. One of the weaknesses was due to the fact that all of their files were stored encrypted on a server that wasn’t protected enough, so the files could be reached through their infrastructure.

RESULTS

Outcomes & Impact

Relying on our team’s experience and MITRE’s best cybersecurity practices, we were able to provide recommendations on preventative measures. The full list of vulnerabilities and system weaknesses was provided to the client and to the developer of their CRM system. As a result, our client received compensation from the CRM provider and is now considering switching to another software.
