Energy operations spread data across remote sites, field devices, and the corporate network — and the sector sits squarely in attackers’ sights. I set the security and technology direction that keeps field operations connected and defensible. Fractional CIO leadership for Oklahoma energy and oil & gas firms.
Energy IT lives or dies at the edge — the remote site, the field device, the link back to the office. Here is what owning that looks like.
Energy operations are dispersed by nature, and that is exactly where technology and security tend to thin out.
Field locations get stood up to keep production moving, not to pass a security review. The gaps add up fast.
Critical-infrastructure sectors are squarely in attackers’ sights. “Too small to target” has not been true for years.
Field systems and the corporate network evolve separately until no one owns the whole picture — or the risk between them.
Dispersed operations and independent security review are not new ground for me — they are most of my career.
Multi-site infrastructure across 7 locations in 5 states — keeping far-flung operations connected, supported, and defensible.
Vendor-neutral, nothing to sell. I have led independent security assessments since the early 2000s — my job is to verify the posture actually holds, not to sell you tools.
I sit above the support layer and own the decisions that keep field and corporate working as one.
One technology plan that spans remote sites and the corporate office — connectivity, devices, and the systems that tie them together.
A risk register and security posture built for an energy threat model, with incident-response readiness and cyber-insurance alignment.
Connectivity, field tools, and software vendors selected, negotiated, and held accountable — in your name, no markup.
Gap analysis and remediation for the standards your partners expect, plus Microsoft 365 and cloud architecture done right.
