Operation Epic Fury Reveals OT Security Gaps in U.S. Oil and Gas Sector

Following Operation Epic Fury, a survey of 100 U.S. oil and gas OT decision‑makers revealed critical cybersecurity readiness gaps: 87% believe they can detect attacks within 24 hours but only 16% have continuous OT monitoring, 51% rely on IT tools with limited OT visibility, and 27% depend on field operators to notice anomalies. The findings highlight increased exposure to state‑sponsored (Iranian‑affiliated) threats against critical infrastructure and show 94% of operators are approving or reviewing unplanned OT security funding.
