Hector Perez, Head of Strategy for Black & Veatch’s Industrial Cybersecurity practice, talks to Elizabeth Corner about digital twins, predictive analytics, and emerging AI tools, highlighting how siloed data, legacy systems, and unmanaged digital risk can undermine operational gains if security is treated as an afterthought. Sponsoring this episode of the World Pipelines Podcast is the World Pipelines CCS Forum 2026, taking place on 18 March, 2026 at the Park Plaza London Riverbank. This event will bring together pipeline experts and technology leaders to share their insights on the development of the UK’s CO2 pipeline infrastructure for carbon capture and storage initiatives. The CCS Forum offers an unmissable opportunity to join your peers and represent your organisation at the heart of the UK CCS discussion as we discuss the projects, technologies, and policies shaping this emerging sector.
