The petrochemical industry is at risk from cyber threats like last year’s Triton attack, and must be prepared to unite in order to address security gaps, according to Industry Services. The 2017 Triton attack against a petrochemical processing plant in the Middle East failed, but researchers have found that developing the malware may have been simpler than previously thought, meaning similar attempts on industrial control systems are likely to be made in the future.
