Don Shafer (LinkedIn profile) is a “top gun” in cyber security and known world wide for his expertise in computer engineering, computer science, information technology, information systems, and software engineering. (Past VP PAB IEEE)

Don was an expert witness who represented Dillards in 2010. A jury verdict awarded Dillards 238 million dollars in the software fraud case against their supply chain software provider.

Don does a wonderful job of outlining critical lessons learned in CyberSecurity that can be applied to any software organization!

In this webinar Don Shafer highlights the growing importance of cybersecutiry in the oil industry, especially after Stuxnet.

Stuxnet is a computer worm  that specifically targets PLCs, which allow the automation of electromechanical processes such as those used to control machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or centrifuges

Even after Stuxnet and Exxon’s Torrance explosion, the oil and gas industry, on shore and off, executive to deck hand, believe that cyber threats are the stuff of science fiction.

The rapid drop in oil prices plus Middle East and South Asia political instability are setting the stage for cyber disasters in the oil and gas industry.

Equipment manufacturers, drilling contractors and oil majors have cut project and people investments to the point that cybersecurity is not even an afterthought.

So what could go wrong?

In just the US, more than half the imported oil comes through the Gulf of Mexico. 15% of the US daily oil supply coming through the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port system 20 miles off of New Orleans won’t be shut down by a bang but by a keystroke!

Thunder Horse, BP’s premier drilling and production platform in the Gulf of Mexico – and the largest semi-submersible built to date – won’t have it’s 250,000 barrels of daily oil stopped by a cigarette boat full of Semtex but by a laptop in Peshawar.

The mitigation strategy centers around implementing NIST CyberSecurity Framework at all asset and governance levels.

Webinar attendees will take away:

• An Understanding that the control software running on and off shore oil and gas drilling and production platforms is extremely vulnerable to cyber attack and has been attacked
• An Understanding that based on the rapid decline of the price of oil and layoffs, equipment manufacturers, drilling contractors and oil company operators have very little incentive to fix the vulnerabilities
• A proven list of the known set of engineering risk mitigation solutions to the vulnerabilities
• A method for applying the NIST CyberSecurity Framework to any industry

As the demand for on-demand, agile talent to execute business strategy increases so too does the importance of workforce planning.

Organizations that use analytics and strategic workforce planning to sustain their talent pipeline with a mix of employees and freelance workers are finding themselves a step ahead of their competitors in their ability to meet the ebbs and flows of business demands.

Recent HCI research on Insightful HR reported that most organizations are just starting to establish processes based on talent analytics.

Organizations that build the capability and allocate resources to talent analytics are better able to identify the business units and job families that are best suited for a blended workforce and can inform the talent acquisition practices that affect those segments to employ a more agile workforce

You will learn:

• How to plan when change is coming so quickly
• What knowledge, skills and abilities are needed to properly equip a workforce insights team
• How a workforce planning function can thrive amid fluctuating internal talent pools
• Why organizations that neglect to examine their mix of talent will find themselves treading water
