Drones offer a significant leap forward in data collection from throughout energy operations globally. With real-time, high quality data from a myriad of hardware and sensor payload combinations, together with multiple communication streams and software applications, drones and the data they collect for energy stakeholders create a serious threat to data security and potential entry point for cybersecurity issues. Our panel of data security experts will discuss the current threats for drone data security, as well as the best practices and solutions for data management to identify and reduce the threat to critical infrastructure within the energy industry.
Discussions will include:
- Hardware, Software and Communications: Threats and issues from throughout the drone operation
- Who owns / controls the data?
- Third Party Issues and Solutions
- The Legal Aspect: Who gets access to data in the cloud or from third party services?
- Controls and Countermeasures: No device is 100% secure
- Security: Company culture that will prevent issues now, not later
- Business Strategy Behind Data Collection and Security
- Hacking: What can be done to detect and reduce the cyber attacks to drone collected data?
