The 2012 cyber attacks against Saudi Aramco and the Aramco family of affiliates was a major game changer in IT & ICS Security. The energy sector, relevant markets, and governments world wide shuddered. Although oil production wasn't directly affected, business operations were greatly interrupted and remain so.
