Energy infrastructure has never been more connected. But it has also never been more exposed.

As AI, private LTE, and cloud platforms become embedded in critical systems, the cyber attack surface is expanding faster than most organizations can respond. Procurement is now the first and most important line of defense where energy firms either contain risk or amplify it.

This podcast, based on GEP's white paper on Cybersecurity in Energy Infrastructure, makes the case for why procurement must be on the front line, and what leaders need to do right now.

What’s Inside:

• Identify the four critical technology trends driving unprecedented cybersecurity risk across energy infrastructure
• Learn how to embed enforceable cyber protections into vendor contracts, sourcing decisions, and RFP criteria
• Understand why IT/OT convergence, Shadow AI, and cloud migration demand a fundamentally new procurement playbook
• Discover the five strategies procurement leaders must prioritize to build resilience and stay ahead of emerging threats

Listen to the podcast and learn how smarter procurement decisions can protect energy’s critical infrastructure even before sourcing begins.
