To ensure the safety and reliability of oil and gas (ONG) upstream, midstream, and downstream operations and industrial IoT (IIoT) communications, ONG companies must protect their industrial control systems (ICS) devices and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks. More than 85% of connected industrial devices are more than ten years old and are particularly vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Cyphre BTX is a hardware-based network encryption solution for site-to-site communications that is delivered as an appliance. Deployed at each site, BTX appliances leverage Cyphre’s patented BlackTIE® security engine that offloads encryption operations to hardware in a way that protects plain text encryption keys from ever being exposed in the CPU or system memory.
