Abstract: In an era where energy infrastructure faces sophisticated cyber threats, from pipeline disruptions to refinery system compromises, the oil and natural gas sector must evolve its security posture. This executive roundtable addresses how artificial intelligence is transforming protection strategies for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Industry leaders will explore how AI-powered security solutions are safeguarding everything from wellhead operations to terminal management while ensuring compliance with NERC-CIP, API 1164, and TSA directives. Drawing from recent incidents in the energy sector, we'll examine practical applications of AI in securing SCADA systems, protecting operational technology networks, and defending against nation-state threats targeting critical energy assets.

What you'll learn:

• How to build a unified security architecture that protects interconnected industrial operations - from drilling sites to refineries - while maintaining operational efficiency and regulatory compliance
• Best practices for implementing AI-powered threat detection and response across your energy infrastructure, with special focus on insider threats, remote operations, and critical asset protection
• Proven strategies to automate compliance processes and secure intellectual property across joint venture operations, using real-world examples from leading energy companies
