Securing Automatic Tank Gauge Systems -- Courtesy of Federated Insurance

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 – Federated Insurance’s Association Risk Management Services team is actively monitoring the recent cybersecurity activity targeting Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems, and we want to ensure your members have timely, practical guidance to reduce risk and prevent disruption.

As part of Federated’s ongoing commitment to your association and its members, and in response to this emerging threat, Federated partnered with our cyber expert, Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB), to quickly develop practical, best‑practice risk management guidance tailored specifically to ATG systems.

Why this matters to your members

• ATG systems are increasingly network‑connected and are being actively targeted

• Many incidents stem from default passwords, lack of network isolation, and exposed internet access

• Organizations with ATG deficiencies often have broader vulnerabilities across other operational systems

Federated’s value to your association

Federated is not simply forwarding an alert—we are helping associations translate risk intelligence into action.

Click Here to read the resource guidance which provides:

• Clear, step‑by‑step actions operators can take immediately

• A concise verification checklist to support compliance and consistency

• Access to complimentary cyber risk resources included with Federated policies

This guidance is applicable across major ATG platforms and reflects the same safeguards DOE and CISA are urging in response to these attacks.

In addition to cyber risk resources like the above, Federated is proud to offer members complimentary access to our Risk Management Academy SM (RMA). The key to a successful business is implementing and leading a strong risk management culture.

• Designed for business owners, Federated's Risk Management Academy provides a unique opportunity for businesses to learn best practices and network with industry peers through 2.5- and One-Day risk management academies.

• Academy topics target specific risk management exposures for the petroleum industry.

As your risk management partner, Federated remains closely engaged in supporting associations with credible expertise, timely intelligence, and actionable solutions.
