Is Your Energy Infrastructure Ready for a Cellular-Connected Future?

Join an exclusive Zscaler CXO Fireside Chat focused on how energy leaders are navigating the growing cyber-physical risks of distributed, connected infrastructure.

As cellular connectivity becomes a critical enabler of modernization across the energy sector, executives are being asked to balance resilience, governance, operational safety, and innovation—without increasing complexity or exposure.

This small-group dinner discussion will convene energy and security leaders for a candid exchange on today’s risk landscape, including nation-state targeting of utilities, data leakage and system misuse, the challenges of disparate services, and what pragmatic protection looks like in an increasingly connected environment.
