ENERGY
Stop IP theft. Protect exploration plans, site locations, business processes, designs, customer data and more. Choose the solution rated #1 for IP protection by Gartner.
HERE'S THE CHALLENGE
Energy firms face ever-increasing risks from outsider attacks — and it's costing them. According to global insurer Willis, the cost of such attacks will reach US $1.87 billion annually by 2018. The most valuable IP for energy firms is usually unstructured data, such as exploration site plans, process flow plans and proprietary technology. The problem is, most data loss prevention solutions aren’t very good at recognizing or protecting this unstructured data.
Energy firms are under pressure to safeguard this unstructured sensitive data while securely sharing with offshore production and outsourcing partners. They also need to demonstrate compliance with NERC CIP, FERC, and other regulatory requirements.

Leading energy producers and providers worldwide rely on Digital Guardian to help secure their intellectual property (IP) while still permitting authorized sharing among privileged users and partners.

Lean Business Performance, Data Transparency and Security
io Oil and Gas handles customer reservoir data; highly confidential information detailing exactly how much oil or gas is present at a drill site, its depth, quality and other important factors that determine the viability of the site. This highly sensitive data must be kept secure at all times as it would be invaluable to competitors in the industry if they got their hands on it. Digital Guardian’s platform has enabled the company to monitor data movement patterns and spot potential red flags early, preventing data loss before it occurs.
IP PROTECTION, SECURE PARTNER COLLABORATION AND $4 MILLION IN COST SAVINGS
This large natural gas producer in North America had hundreds of contractors and companies that provide specialized services to its operations. These business partners assisted in analysis, drilling operations, or legal matters, and therefore needed to access confidential data. Digital Guardian DLP saved the company over $4 million in hardware, software, and physical security infrastructure. Digital Guardian allowed employees, contractors, and partners ready access to the data they required, with full auditing and without risk of misuse.
