About RegretShield Consultants

Founded on the principle that critical infrastructure deserves the highest level of cybersecurity protection, we've been safeguarding the energy sector for over 15 years.

Our Story

From our founding in Houston to becoming a trusted name in industrial cybersecurity, we've consistently delivered innovative solutions that protect critical energy infrastructure.

RegretShield Consultants was founded on a simple belief — the energy sector deserves technology partners who understand the complexity of field operations and the critical importance of securing them. What began as a collaboration between three seasoned professionals — Will Dotson, Carlos Medina, and Alex Anastopoulos — quickly evolved into a trusted consultancy serving the most demanding Oil & Gas environments across North America.

Will Dotson is a strategic IT project manager and OT cybersecurity architect who has designed and delivered large-scale network and security programs that bridge IT and field operations. His leadership ensures every initiative is planned, staged, and executed with precision — from Azure SD-WAN deployments to full OT tenant integrations.
Carlos Medina is an accomplished cybersecurity leader and former IT director who has built enterprise-class security programs from the ground up. He brings experience implementing Zero Trust, cloud-native protections, and secure-by-design architectures across IT and OT environments, along with practical governance and execution discipline for executive teams.
Alex Anastopoulos is a Senior Infrastructure and Cloud Engineer known for transforming complex environments into resilient, automated ecosystems. His deep technical expertise across AWS, Azure, Cisco, Palo Alto, and Zscaler platforms helps ensure every RegretShield engagement is backed by scalable, future-ready infrastructure.

Together, they’ve led multi-million-dollar modernization programs, integrated cybersecurity into operational workflows, and developed repeatable frameworks that reduce risk while improving uptime and performance.

Our Guiding Principles

  • Clarity of Purpose: Every solution ties directly to measurable business outcomes.
  • Security by Design: Protection is built in from day one — not bolted on later.
  • Partnership in Execution: We work side-by-side with clients, empowering internal teams to sustain success.

From well pad to cloud, our story is defined by one thing: helping energy operators build secure, connected, and future-ready operations — without regret.
