Colorado oil and gas operations are facing a threat landscape that looks nothing like it did five years ago. OT/IT convergence, distributed field sites, rotating contractor access, and tightening cyber insurance requirements have created real exposure for mid-market energy companies on the Front Range. This post breaks down what the risk actually looks like, what compliance frameworks are driving accountability, and what a practical managed IT and cloud security solution looks like for Colorado energy operators.

Smart tech, safe choices starts with clarity—not fear. In this Colorado-focused Safer Internet Day guide, you’ll learn how to create an AI policy your employees can actually follow, reduce data risk with a simple “never paste” list, and strengthen your security awareness training so phishing attempts don’t turn into incidents. You’ll also get a practical checklist to share with HR, IT, and Compliance—and an invitation to join ABT, Pax8, and Todyl in person on Feb 19 at Pax8 HQ in the Denver Tech Center to turn these ideas into an actionable plan.

A cyber risk assessment beats guessing—every time. See what it should include, why it matters in Colorado, and RSVP for ABT’s Feb 19 event at Pax8 HQ.
