Siemens has been working with Darktrace to offer the oil and gas industry artificial intelligence-driven cybersecurity as a service. Darktrace claims that its AI- based offering can protect companies not just against known threats but also previously unseen cyber attacks. Providing protection as a service means outsourcing the systems, so that every company in a supply chain doesn't have to develop cybersecurity expertise. The idea is for AI systems to be able to spot suspicious activity before it happens. These facilities are becoming growing targets for cyber-espionage attacks, even if the computer systems are separate from the internet, as other methods such as infected USB sticks could be used. By updating the system and its network, facilities can prevent catastrophic events that could be harmful to human life.
