Joint Industry-Government-Military Surge Capacity and Interoperability

At BSides Edmonton 2026, I'll be sharing publicly the declassified work my team and the Energy Security Technical Advisory Committee (E-STAC) have been doing on cyber protection for our energy critical infrastructure. It's exciting work, and this is a chance to bring it out into the open.
I'm extending an invitation to anyone in the energy sector—electricity, water, gas, LNG, and beyond—to come out. BSides is always a lot of fun and great networking, and this is a topic that touches all of us who depend on resilient critical infrastructure.
My thanks to BSides Edmonton for the opportunity to speak, and to my Senior Director, David McConkey, M.Eng., for championing this initiative from the start.
