11:50 AM Panel Discussion: Securing the Edge: Enabling Connected Workers Through Private Cellular Networks

As energy companies expand operations into remote and high-risk environments, the need for secure, reliable connectivity becomes critical. This session explores Chevron’s early-stage proof of concept focused on private cellular networks. The initiative aims to reduce attack surfaces, enable device-level policy enforcement, and support scalable digital transformation across field operations. Kathryn and her team will share insights from the pilot, discuss anticipated challenges, and outline how to:

Achieve secure, real-time communication and location awareness in hazardous and remote environments, reducing risk during emergencies and disaster scenarios.
Delivere a structured rollout from proof of concept to pilot phase, establishing clear milestones for full-scale implementation.
Reduce attack surfaces and enforced device-level policies, ensuring robust connectivity and compliance across field operations.
Implement agentless device mapping and integrated cybersecurity guardrails, supported by strategic vendor partnerships.
Build a foundation for connected worker solutions through cross-functional collaboration and private cellular infrastructure, driving long-term operational efficiency.
