The industrial segment utilizes risk management services in physical risk management like pipeline risk management, facility site analysis, construction management, catastrophe evacuation model, and network risk management like cybersecurity systems, which form a majority of the oil and gas risk management market.

The last decade has seen tremendous growth in industrialization and urbanization, which gave rise to digitalization. Oil and gas companies are increasingly focusing on the digitalization of processes and systems in all sections of operations. This has given rise to increased cybersecurity threats, which is evident from the recent cyber-attacks on global oil and gas companies like Saudi Aramco. Oil and gas companies also face the risk of phishing attacks. The necessity for developing strong security infrastructure using network security and firewall for protection is the key factor to drive the global oil and gas risk management market during the forecast period.

The key market restraint for the market is the high reliance on oil and gas companies on the existing risk management systems and solutions, which lack in meeting the current market demand. The increased use of cloud-based technology has given rise to more hazardous cyber threats, which can be evident from the 2018 Shamoon virus incident of an Italian oil and gas company, Saipem. The excessive reliance on incompetent and obsolete risk management systems is affecting the growth of the market.
