LOGIIC – Linking the Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cyber Security

An Ongoing Partnership

The LOGIIC (Linking the Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cybersecurity) program is an ongoing collaboration of oil and natural gas companies and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate. LOGIIC was formed in 2004 to facilitate cooperative research, development, testing, and evaluation procedures to improve cybersecurity in petroleum industry digital control systems. The program undertakes collaborative research and development projects to improve the level of cybersecurity in critical systems of interest to the oil and natural gas sector. The program objective is to promote the interests of the sector while maintaining impartiality, the independence of the participants, and vendor neutrality. After a successful first project, the LOGIIC consortium was formally established as a collaboration between DHS, the Automation Federation, and five of the major oil and gas companies. The LOGIIC program has completed several R&D projects, and more projects are being planned and started. Please use the links below to learn more about some of the previous LOGIIC projects:

• Correlation Project
• Safety Instrumented Systems

The DHS Science and Technology Directorate is actively exploring further Government and Industry partnerships in this and other sectors. For more information, please visit: www.logiic.org
