EverLine has strengthened its cybersecurity leadership with the appointment of Jason Cradit as chief technology officer & chief information security officer. The appointment underscores the organization’s emphasis on protecting its critical infrastructure. Furthermore, it speaks to the increasing need for convergence between cybersecurity and operations.
Experience of Jason Cradit spans more than two and a half decades in the areas of energy and defense. He has had a lot of experience in the pipeline, aerospace, and infrastructure areas. Thus, he will oversee the technology and cybersecurity programs of EverLine.
Cybersecurity leadership has become an important aspect of business processes across various sectors. Companies need to manage all aspects of compliance, security, and operations simultaneously. This is true, for instance, in the case of utilities & pipeline companies that are subjected to more stringent regulations & threats.
“The challenge facing critical infrastructure operators is no longer simply preventing cyber incidents or passing audits. It is maintaining continuous operational readiness in environments where regulations evolve, threats adapt, and there is little tolerance for disruption,” said Cradit. “Security, compliance, and operations have become inseparable. The organizations that succeed will be those that embed resilience directly into their operations and demonstrate readiness every day. EverLine is uniquely positioned because it combines deep operational expertise with cybersecurity and technology capabilities that help customers maintain visibility, resilience, and audit readiness at scale.”
