Why Security Is Critical in the Gas Sector

Gas facilities face significant risks, including explosions, vandalism, theft, and intense regulatory scrutiny. A security failure can lead to costly operational shutdowns or severe environmental damage. Insider threats and cyber-physical attacks on SCADA networks and control rooms are also increasing. Recognizing these interdependent cyber and physical risks, governments across the globe now mandate proactive and verifiable physical security controls.

What Gallagher Offers Gas Facility Operators

Integrated Access Control and Credential Management
Gallagher’s access control solution secures everything from plants to remote compressor stations. Our unified platform streamlines access and credential management, integrating with corporate identity systems so the right people move through your network without delay.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Protection
Gallagher’s perimeter technology instantly detects fence cuts, climbs, and intrusions in real time. Built to withstand environmental extremes including temperature fluctuations, salinity, wind, and rain our perimeter sensors integrate directly with CCTV for visual verification.

Centralized Monitoring for Energy Networks
Command Centre offers centralized monitoring and a real-time view of security operations. With map-based visualization, alarm notifications, and event logging, security teams can respond confidently to incidents. Audit trails and automated reporting further streamline regulatory compliance while reducing manual administration.

Secure by Design Approach
Gallagher's "secure by design" approach protects critical gas infrastructure from evolving cyber threats at the hardware, software, and physical levels. Our security solutions combine encryption, strong authentication protocols, and real-time monitoring to safeguard your operations against unauthorized access and cyber risks.

Seamless Integrations
Gallagher integrates with a wide range of third-party platforms, including video management, HR, and SCADA systems to bring people, security, and operational technology into one connected view. Enabling teams to respond to alarms, trigger protocols, and maintain control across sites.

Rapid Evacuation and Lockdown
Command Centre enables rapid evacuation and lockdown across gas infrastructure sites. Real-time visibility of staff and visitors, even across remote or dispersed sites, supports evacuation while targeted notifications help protect people and keep operations moving through disruption.

Common Pain Points in Gas Infrastructure Security

Unmonitored Remote Sites

Pipelines and compressor stations often span hundreds of kilometers of rugged terrain, making them vulnerable to undetected breaches. Gallagher’s fully networked perimeter solutions enable real-time perimeter monitoring and remote alerting, giving you instant visibility no matter how far the site is.


Legacy Systems and Limited Integration

Many operators struggle with siloed CCTV, access control, and alarm systems that require separate management and maintenance. Gallagher unifies these disparate solutions into a single, interoperable platform, reducing operator load and streamlining response times.


Compliance and Audit Pressure

Relying on manual logs and paper-based systems makes demonstrating compliance to national energy regulators nearly impossible. Gallagher automates event reports and audit trails, turning complex regulatory requirements into a seamless background process.

Layered Protection for Gas Facilities

True security requires defense in depth. Gallagher secures your critical infrastructure through a comprehensive layered security framework:

  1. Outer Perimeter: Intelligent energized fencing deter, detect, and delay initial intrusion attempts.
  2. Mid-Zone Access: Gate access control, visitor management, and strict contractor management ensure only authorized personnel proceed beyond the perimeter.
  3. Inner Zones: Regulate access to control rooms, SCADA servers, and storage areas with rule-based access, multi-factor authentication, anti-passback, and anti-tailgating prevent breaches to sensitive equipment and assets.
  4. Central Oversight: Gallagher Command Centre oversees all layers, delivering total situational awareness and unified emergency response.
