Sector Risk Profile
Why This Sector Needs Layered Security
Process Safety Interface
Security systems designed not to interfere with process safety and hazardous area classifications.
Large, Complex Perimeters
Multi-kilometer plant boundaries requiring fiber, radar, and LiDAR combinations.
SCADA/DCS Exposure
OT networks controlling process equipment require passive, non-disruptive monitoring.
High Vehicle & Contractor Traffic
ANPR and contractor management for constant tanker, contractor, and logistics movement.
Regional Focus
Jubail & Yanbu Industrial Cities
RCJY Tenant Requirements
Security design aligned to Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu industrial security expectations.
HCIS Classification
Facility security scoped to the applicable HCIS Class 1-4 rating for each plant.
Multi-Site Coordination
Consistent security architecture across sister plants within the same industrial city.
FAQ
Oil, Gas & Petrochemical - FAQ
Does perimeter security equipment need special certification for hazardous process areas?
Equipment installed near process units with hazardous area classifications requires appropriate certification (such as ATEX/IECEx-equivalent ratings) for that zone; Tektronix works with the facility's process safety team to specify compliant hardware for any equipment near classified areas.
Are RCJY security requirements the same as HCIS requirements?
RCJY sets industrial security expectations specific to tenants operating within the Jubail and Yanbu industrial cities, which typically apply alongside, not instead of, national HCIS directives; both are considered together during design for facilities located in these industrial cities.
Can OT security monitoring be added without shutting down a live process plant?
Yes. Passive OT monitoring, aligned to NCA OTCC-1:2022, observes network traffic without sending active probes to control devices, allowing visibility to be established on a live process network without disrupting operations.
