Register Now for the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) 2026 Oil & Gas Security Symposium with Security Industry Association – June 10, 2026

Securing the Future of Oil & Gas Operations

We are proud to partner with the Security Industry Association (SIA) for the 2026 Oil & Gas Security Symposium, a virtual event bringing together industry leaders, security professionals, technology providers, and infrastructure operators to address the evolving security challenges facing the energy sector.

Moderated by Andy Thompson, Chair of the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) Security Committee, this symposium will explore the critical intersection of identity management, cybersecurity, and physical security across today’s oil and gas operations.

About the Symposium

Part of SIA’s Vertical Insights series, this event is designed to connect practitioners, security integrators, consultants, and solution providers focused on protecting critical infrastructure and key industry sectors.

As digital transformation accelerates throughout exploration, production, transportation, and refining operations, the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems is creating both new opportunities and emerging security risks. Organizations must now adopt integrated approaches that protect physical assets, digital infrastructure, and operational continuity.

This interactive symposium will feature two expert-led panel discussions examining the technologies, strategies, and best practices needed to strengthen security across modern oil and gas environments.

Key Discussion Topics

• Identity management strategies for distributed and complex operations
• Advancements in access control and physical security technologies
• Cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure and industrial environments
• Mitigating insider threats and improving organizational resilience
• Securing operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems
• Aligning cybersecurity and physical security teams for greater effectiveness
• Scalable security solutions for high-risk and mission-critical facilities
• Emerging trends in integrated security for the oil and gas sector
