Coming soon: part two, in which we take questions from the EnviroTech and World Pipelines CCS Forum audiences. 

Mehdi Laichoubi, Skipper NDT, and Ian Kornfeld, National Grid, chat to Elizabeth Corner about advancing inspection technology, delivering major infrastructure, and what the next generation of pipeline professionals is focused on.

From the regulatory aftermath of the Colonial Pipeline attack to SEC disclosure rules, fiduciary duties, vendor risk, cyber insurance disputes, and evidence preservation during incident response: this conversation dives into what ‘reasonable’ really means in the eyes of regulators and courts.

As digitalisation accelerates and operational technology remains vulnerable, cybersecurity is a board-level responsibility. Brittany outlines the practical questions that directors should be asking.

Bernard offers a clear-eyed look at why detection-only security models are failing, why exposure management is the new frontline, and what pipeline leaders must prioritise to stay resilient in a post-AI threat landscape.

We cover:

• How AI is reshaping the cyber threat landscape.
• Why cloud and hybrid environments introduce major blind spots.
• The limits of detection-only security.
• The growing skills and awareness gap.
• The role of business-critical risk prioritisation.

From cloud reliance and supply-chain exposure, to the need for regular incident-response rehearsals, Ross shares practical insight on what it takes to “fight while wounded” and keep operations running through disruption and uncertainty. A pragmatic, thoughtful conversation about risk, readiness, and the realities of cybersecurity for critical infrastructure.

• The most pressing technical challenges currently facing gas pipelines in Europe.
• What kind of innovations or adaptations are being explored for existing pipeline infrastructure.
• How GERG ensures that pipeline-related research translates into real-world safety, sustainability, and efficiency improvements across the continent.
• Energy resilience in Europe.
