Partners Andy Lee and Krystal Scott discuss the results of Jones Walker’s recently conducted third-party survey on cybersecurity in the midstream space. This survey asked one hundred twenty-five leaders (C-Suite, Legal, Risk Managers, and Technology Managers) of US-based independent midstream oil & gas companies about the planning, implementation, operation, and results of their existing cybersecurity plans. Topics that Andy and Krystal address include: strategic planning, internal training, incident response plans, and industry collaboration. They consider: are midstream companies prepared to respond to the rapidly changing tactics of hackers or are they overconfident that their existing plans will meet future challenges?
MCLE credit for this program was only requested from and approved by the State Bar of Texas. This may be because of the subject matter, because of a lack of substantive written material, or because of the audience for the original program. You may still be able to obtain credit in other jurisdictions—either participatory or self-study credit—but the rules vary greatly by jurisdiction. Please review your jurisdiction’s MCLE rules and regulations before purchasing or viewing this program.
