The rapid digital transformation of the oil and gas industry, driven by the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Big Data, has significantly enhanced operational efficiency. However, this digitalization introduces complex cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This paper explores the integration of intelligent resource management systems within the oil and gas infrastructure and examines the architectural requirements for robust cybersecurity. It emphasizes a multi-layered security approach, specifically focusing on the transition toward Zero Trust models in critical energy infrastructure.
