Tyler Williams
OT Cybersecurity Pioneer & Energy Industry Cybersecurity Leader

Tyler Williams is a globally recognized pioneer in industrial cybersecurity, with a career spanning over two decades at the forefront of securing industrial systems and critical infrastructure. His contributions have significantly shaped the cybersecurity landscape, making him one of the most influential figures in the field today.

As the founder and CEO of Wurldtech, Tyler was instrumental in the development of the Achilles Test Platform, an industry-first solution designed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in critical OT systems. The Achilles Test Platform became the de facto standard for testing the security of industrial control systems, enabling manufacturers and operators to proactively address potential threats before they could be exploited.

Measuring What Matters
The Goal Zero Framework for Cybersecurity Performance in Energy

Despite record levels of cybersecurity spending, many energy organizations still struggle to answer a simple question: Are we becoming more secure?

Drawing on more than two decades of experience helping shape OT cybersecurity standards, testing methodologies, certification programs, and operational security programs, Tyler will present a new cybersecurity KPI framework being developed called Goal Zero, a new model designed specifically for energy and industrial organizations. Inspired by the industry’s transformation in safety performance, Goal Zero focuses on measuring the factors that most directly influence cyber resilience rather than relying solely on compliance scores, control counts, or maturity assessments. The framework introduces a new way to evaluate cybersecurity performance by assessing the effectiveness of preventive and mitigative barriers, reducing exposure to credible threats, and strengthening an organization’s ability to withstand and recover from cyber events. Attendees will leave with a practical methodology for aligning cybersecurity investments with operational risk, communicating performance to executives and boards, and creating a roadmap toward a more resilient industrial future. As the industry once rallied around Goal Zero for safety, this session explores how the same mindset can be applied to cybersecurity.
