The oil and gas supply chain - from exploration and production through refining, transport, and retail operations - is highly complex with countless links that are subject to security breaches. The IT infrastructure of the digital oilfield mirrors this complexity. Enterprise Enabler supports these rising concerns by providing a secure framework for integration - allowing multiple views and manipulation of data - while minimizing the risks to data integrity and access. Some of the capabilities to be realized by integrating using Enterprise Enabler include…
|
- Integrating identity and access management systems with other enterprise applications quickly, without custom adapters
- Monitoring data and systems throughout the integrated framework for data integrity and reliability
- Launching processes and notifications based on anomalies in data or sources

| Enterprise Enabler is a key component of an overall security strategy… an infrastructure framework enforcing consistent security policies. |
Enterprise Enabler - Supporting Security in Oil and Gas| Securing the oil & gas IT infrastructure touches numerous systems and any given connection may be a point of vulnerability. Enterprise Enabler consistently enforces common security policies that protect the data while securely making it available to authorized users. As often as information is transferred, it is frequently transformed as well. When transformations are manual, security risk are introduced. Enterprise Enabler easily automates many of these processes to increase confidence in data integrity. This framework is a key component of an overall security strategy, going beyond traditional enterprise application integration to provide… |  |
Enterprise Enabler's Synchronapse™ Technology Enterprise Enabler is a unique technology for unifying many different applications within a single, consistent infrastructure, providing secure application communication. Without this capability, the number of interfaces proliferates, thereby increasing the cost of ownership and introducing higher IT risk. This unique integration platform… - Consistently enforces common security policies
- Insulates and controls access to sensitive data
- Creates a consolidated view of authoritative data sources
- Thoroughly audits the flow of data, tracking changes to systems and sources
Changes to the IT infrastructure, whether inadvertent or malicious, may pose security risk and/or compromise data integrity. To maximize the value of information, data and the data sources must be monitored for changes. Enterprise Enabler monitors traffic on the network for changes and can notify all stakeholders, via email, of potential impact on dependencies.
Examples of changes that may pose risks to the physical or IT infrastructure include… - Changes in the structure of a database
- Changes in data exceeding limits - monetary,
physical, engineering…
- Changes in units - monetary or physical
| | Enterprise Enabler can sense changes, either malicious or inadvertent, in the data infrastructure and notify stakeholders immediately. |

Enterprise Enabler's Transformation EngineHuman or manual interaction with data introduces security and integrity risk. Enterprise Enabler contains a robust transformation engine to automate the task of accessing, converting, and publishing information. Types of conversions performed include… - Data aggregation and complex many-to-many manipulation
- Source transformation - from various database formats to HTML, XML, spreadsheet, etc.
- Unit conversion - one business partner uses metric while another uses imperial units.
- Financial conversion - exchange rates
- Encryption and decryption of data streams and files
 | Consider a joint oil and gas venture, for example, where various stakeholders require a daily report from operations, on spreadsheets via email. Stakeholders are located in multiple countries and require their information in metric or imperial units and local currencies at their current conversion rates. For example, at set intervals or events, Enterprise Enabler can extract the requisite information from a production system in an ODBC database, production rates from a distributed control system (DCS), and cost and sales to date from SAP. These data and current monetary conversion rates can be aggregated by Enterprise Enabler from their various sources; units are transformed according to the requirements of each stakeholder, converted into an Excel format, encrypted, and distributed via email - all without manual intervention. |

Enterprise Enabler - Validating Data FlowEnterprise Enabler supports data integrity by applying logic to validate the data flowing between systems, and keeping record of such data transformation and data flow attributes as: - What was done to the data?
- When did it happen?
- Which systems were affected?
- Did it happen correctly?
Enterprise Enabler retains a detailed record of changes, recording the above types of information, thereby supporting security policies, and preventing users from later denying unauthorized transactions or tampering.
