Next week, an InfraShield delegation heads to Aberdeen, Scotland, for the OEUK Security & Resilience Conference 2026 at Union Kirk on April 22, and we couldn’t be more excited about what this moment represents. As a sponsor of the event, our presence isn’t just a logo on a badge—it’s a statement of intent.

As events in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to dominate the global agenda and disrupt energy markets, the conference is bringing together security specialists and industry leaders to discuss protecting the UK’s energy sector. This is exactly the kind of conversation InfraShield was built for.

A leading advocate for secure-by-design architecture, InfraShield will advise OEUK members to build cybersecurity into the foundation of their next-generation facilities to best prepare for future challenges.

As our company enters the second quarter of 2026, building on the success of the last few months—from attendance at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s annual Regulatory Information Conference to a strong showing as a sponsor at the NEI Conference in Charlotte, NC—we at InfraShield are living up to our mission of “Protecting the World” as a preeminent OT cyber products and services consultancy.

InfraShield’s Global Reach

InfraShield has long specialized in protecting critical infrastructure across the energy, nuclear, and government sectors, and the threat landscape facing these industries continues to expand. Governments and private industry leaders must work together to keep power sources operational and profitable—and to keep energy flowing to customers.

The ongoing digital transformation presents both great opportunity and great risk, as hostile actors target the very innovations that make the industry thrive. As the saying goes, energy security is national security, and the UK is stepping up to secure its homegrown energy assets during this time of unprecedented geopolitical volatility.

The upcoming OEUK conference will grapple with these challenges directly, and InfraShield will be a vital part of the conversation. The gathering presents us with a unique opportunity to contribute and deepen our connections—not only with the UK’s offshore energy sector, but also with the broader ecosystem of critical industries that surround it.

“InfraShield is excited to send our team to the OEUK’s Security and Resilience Conference this year, meeting with the UK’s energy leaders as they make vital advancements to promote sustainability and security,” InfraShield CEO Mark Rorabaugh said. “OEUK is a key player in the international shift toward a diversified energy market, and as InfraShield continues to expand our OT cyber capabilities across the world and across sectors, we look forward to these important conversations.”

We are excited to hear from leading defence specialists at the cutting edge of technological solutions, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their work—areas where InfraShield is actively developing its capabilities. We’re not just attending to listen—we’re there to contribute.

As advances in AI and geopolitical risks evolve faster than industry and regulators can respond, gaps continue to emerge in the energy sector’s cybersecurity systems. InfraShield’s experts will emphasize that closing this gap requires a shift toward a secure-by-design approach. Rather than retrofitting legacy controls, secure-by-design approaches integrate cybersecurity into system architecture from the outset.

This approach is the first step in bolstering cybersecurity across critical industries.

Protecting the World®

At InfraShield, we have simplified our mission to state clearly that we are “Protecting the World,” underscoring our commitment to our clients and the global implications of their work. That mission is central to our company philosophy and underpins every product, every service, and every piece of regulatory guidance we provide.

Over the next week, we will demonstrate to our partners and leaders in global energy markets how vital a secure-by-design, integrated cybersecurity approach is to safety, efficiency, and scale.

“The cybersecurity industry—particularly those of us protecting the energy sector—is grappling with rapidly evolving threats and technologies. When developers engineer cybersecurity into the design of their next-generation plants and facilities from the start, they ensure safe and scalable operations,” Rorabaugh said. “OEUK is playing a vital role in securing the next generation of energy.”
