HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA, February 17, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- US oil and gas cybersecurity market sees global cyberattacks rise by 179% to reach 6,500 per year (Source: companiesandmarkets.com). Changes in technology used to manage oil and gas plants and pipelines are all putting them at greater risk of cyberattacks, meaning the oil and gas industry should be taking extra caution to protect proprietary information and its link to national security.

Building on the success of their Cyber Security meetings in London and Oslo, SMi takes Oil and Gas Cyber Security to North America, providing the perfect location and audience to address the most pressing cyber security issues facing the oil and gas sector.
