The Atyrau oil refinery
One of the largest oil refineries not only in the Republic of Kazakhstan,
but also in the world, it can process about 16 million tons of oil per year
and has a refining depth of up to 86.4%.

The refinery produces:

High-priority information security
Modern production processes at the Atyrau oil refinery rely heavily on
the use of information technology and industrial control systems (ICS).

Long-termpartnership
The Atyrau oil refinery isowned by the JSC National
Company KazMunayGas(99%). The Kazakh nationaloil company and Kaspersky
have collaborated on multiple
successful projects over
the years.

With the rising number of cyberthreats, the increasing complexity ofcyberattacks on industrial infrastructure facilities, and public casesof production process disruption due to complex cyber incidents,
information security has become a top priority for the Atyrau refinery.

Protection for industrial enterprises
The number of attacks on industrial systems, in particular on ICS andSCADA, continues to grow. 41.74% of ICS computers in Kazakhstan
were attacked by malware in 2022 (according to Kaspersky ICS
CERT). Meanwhile, traditional solutions are unable to protect industrial
environments from the latest cyberthreats. That's why it's now more
important than ever to choose a reliable partner who has the relevant
expertise and can provide specialized solutions.

of ICS computers in Kazakhstan
were attacked by malware in2022 (according to Kaspersky
ICS CERT).

Advantages• Supports more than 50 industrial
protocols and their analysis at theapplication level• KICS for Networks fully complies withthe requirements of the regulatory
standard — ST RK ISO/IEC 15408-32017 — EAL5
• Available certificates of compatibility
with ICS solutions• KICS for Networks and KICS for
Nodes together form an integrated
industrial XDR platform

To ensure the safety of technological processes, Kaspersky
recommended the industrial XDR platform Kaspersky Industrial
CyberSecurity (KICS), which consists of two interconnected elements:
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes, designed to protect
industrial operator panels, workstations and servers; and Kaspersky
Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks, which monitors the security ofindustrial networks. With these two solutions it is possible to implement
basic XDR scenarios, thanks to native integration. KICS for Nodes
forwards endpoint telemetry to KICS for Networks, enriching node
inventory and security event data.

Deploying the solution
After carefully studying a number of information security solutions on
the market, the Atyrau oil refinery, owned by the large KazMunayGasholding, chose the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity (KICS) XDRplatform. The decision was based on such important criteria as good
reputation, technical capabilities of the solution, and alignment withthe company's strategic goals for reliable protection of its information
assets.
The process of deploying the Kaspersky solution for securing theindustrial segment was successfully adapted to the particularities of
the Atyrau oil refinery's infrastructure, including configuring rules andsecurity policies, and training the company's specialists to use the newsolution. The deployment was carried out in close cooperation with
Kaspersky experts, so emerging issues could be swiftly resolved withminimal impact on the company's ongoing business activities.

Results and feedback
As a result of deploying Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity, information
security at the Atyrau oil refinery has been greatly strengthened. The
solutions provided rapid detection of and response to potential threats,
and improved monitoring and analytics of the company's cybersecurity
and production processes. Now the company receives data andanalytics on the cybersecurity state of its technological processes.
