A study of information security practice in a critical infrastructure application

Abstract

Based on multiple methods we have studied how information security practices, and in particular computer security incident response practices, are handled in the Norwegian offshore oil and gas industry. Our findings show that there is still insufficient awareness regarding the importance of information security in the offshore industry, and that increased vigilance is required in order to respond to mounting threats of tomorrow. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
