Companies join forces to build the world’s largest cybersecurity practice
DNV will acquire cybersecurity specialist Applied Risk. The two companies will join forces to build the world’s largest industrial cybersecurity practice, defending critical infrastructure in energy and other industrial sectors against emergent cyber threats. The two companies will operate together under the DNV brand. A combined leadership team from both companies will be tasked with scaling a merged cybersecurity business with ambitions for significant growth by the end of 2025. Applied Risk’s experts will join forces with DNV’s cybersecurity specialists, who work with governments, corporations and industrial operators to keep projects and operations secure. DNV provides real-world cybersecurity expertise to some of the world’s most complex infrastructure projects, helping customers identify their cyber risks, build a powerful force of defense against threats, recover from attacks and win stakeholder trust and support.
Tool mimics hydrocarbon migration
Studio X has released its latest agent-based modeling E&P tool, “Go with the Flow.” The tool is designed to allow users to quickly iterate and explore fluid movement models in the subsurface through a user-friendly interface. It was derived from a data science challenge on Xeek, a crowdsourcing platform founded by Studio X. The tool allows users to upload seismic volume as a SEGY file, then select parameters for how they think fluids would behave kilometers below the surface of the Earth. In minutes, the tool displays a gif of how the agents accumulate within the seismic, allowing geoscientists to imagine how fluids such as hydrocarbons, water and CO2 would migrate and be trapped in the subsurface. A core differentiator for the “Go with the Flow” tool is ease of use and a future pay-per-use business model.
