摘要

Domestic U.S. oil and gas production has increased dramatically with technological advances in drilling and completion techniques, and pipelines now transport roughly two-thirds of U.S. energy demand. Important as it is to the economy, however, this delivery system is at risk.More than half the nation's pipeline system is at least 40 years old, increasing the likelihood of a leak or rupture even in standard operating conditions. Many of these systems have become more automated over the years, which has improved operational control but also made them more vulnerable to cyberattack and data breach.This article provides an overview of our recent analysis of U.S. pipeline infrastructure and potential threats to these systems. It addresses the issue of whether voluntary cybersecurity standards are sufficient to protect the public from harm, aswell as potential tort liability and other legal issues for companies that are targeted by cyber-intrusions.Cyber-ThreatsA growing number of data breaches in the retail and financial sectors has resulted in widespread media coverage and heightened public awareness and scrutiny of cybersecurity systems. Relatively few people realize that the energy sector, including pipelines, power plants, refineries and transmission grids, has been the major target of cyberat-tacks and intrusions.A recent study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the agency in charge of pipeline security oversight, indicates the energy sector is subject to more cybersecurity incidents than any other area. These attacks on the energy sector continue to grow in both frequency and sophistication, the TSA reported.Due to the toxic, explosive or flammable nature of the substances handled in many pipelines and energy facilities, such cyber-intrusions may present a much more serious threats to human health and the environment as compared to system breaches in other sectors.
