Modernize and Transform Oil and Gas Cyber Security
Readiness
Traditional classroom training can get expensive. Project Ares
enables your team to train against real-world scenarios and threats,
anytime, anywhere, for a much lower cost.
Project Ares is a gamified, immersive cyber learning virtual range
that can help oil and gas cyber teams automate and augment their
security. Realistic scenarios engage teams in problem-solving and
analysis to build state-of-the-art cyber skills using real-world tools
on emulated networks.
To increase cyber team performance in IT and OT for oil and gas sectors,
organizations can adopt continual learning opportunities for teams to grow
in cyber skill and competency to stop threats before they hit a network.
The information retention rate for traditional classroom training is 5%.
Active training methods in Project Ares increase that rate to 75%. The
platform allows your team to practice their skills against the latest threats.
Project Ares, equipped with powerful AI, aggregates best practices from
player behavior which you can then teach to your entire team. Team
performance is elevated as best practices are collected and taught.

“Many critical infrastructure sectors, like oil and gas, have the added challenge of
protecting both the IT infrastructure and the OT infrastructure SCADA devices. Finding
qualified Cyber security professionals who understand the anatomy of these complex
types of attacks is very difficult and it is more important than ever to train staff in
realistic scenarios so they can protect this essential sector.

There are many facilities that supply diesel oil, gasoline, heating oil, kerosene, natural gas
and more to the hundreds of thousands of people across the United States. Even the smallest
supply chain or information system infiltration can affect every aspect of our lives
