Can you trust AI with critical infrastructure?

In traditional IT, isolating a compromised endpoint can stop an attack. In operational technology (OT) environments, that same action could disrupt control of a pipeline, cause a rupture, or trigger environmental damage.

That’s why adopting AI in critical infrastructure requires a fundamentally different security approach. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience across energy, pipelines, aerospace, and defense, Jason Cradit, CTO and CISO at Everline, explains how security leaders can move beyond blanket restrictions and establish practical AI governance and guardrails.

You’ll learn:

• Why “no AI” policies can fuel shadow AI instead of preventing it

• How security leaders can chart a path toward secure, responsible AI adoption

• How to build effective AI guardrails around real business and operational use cases

Why stick around: 

Discover how to move beyond a “no AI” mandate and harness AI’s value without compromising the safety and availability of critical infrastructure.
