Paul Williams Joins StealthPath Advisory Board

Reston, Virginia June 3, 2026 — StealthPath LLC today announced the appointment of Paul Williams to its Advisory Board. Williams, the former Head of Division for Specialist Supervision of Operational Risk and Resilience at the Bank of England and the Prudential Regulation Authority, brings more than thirty-five years of leadership experience across banking technology infrastructure, regulatory policy development, operational resilience, and cybersecurity at the highest levels of government and international finance.

At the Bank of England, Williams led the development of the United Kingdom's operational resilience regulatory framework, the policy model that established how financial institutions and critical infrastructure operators must approach systemic risk and cyber resilience. That framework has informed the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's standard and has been variously applied across G20 member jurisdictions. He oversaw CBEST, the Bank of England's intelligence-led penetration testing programme for systemically important financial institutions.

Internationally, Williams was a founding member of the G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors' Cyber Expert Group, latterly co-chairing that group with the US Treasury Department. He founded and chaired the Bank of England's Cross-Market Operational Resilience Cyber Collaboration Group, and founded and chaired the European Union’s Systemic Cyber Group under the European Systemic Risk Board, where he led the analysis of systemic cyber risk across European financial systems and recommended the creation of the Pan-European Systemic Cyber Incident Coordination Framework.

Williams currently serves as a Commissioner on the United Kingdom's National Preparedness Commission, chaired by Lord Toby Harris. He is a Board Member of the Electric Infrastructure Security Council, a Senior Technical Expert for the International Monetary Fund, and a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University School of Management. He is the Managing Director and Founder of Phoenix Resilience Limited.

StealthPath develops monitoring and visibility technology for operational technology environments in critical infrastructure, the air-gapped, under-resourced, and structurally constrained facilities where conventional cybersecurity approaches cannot operate. The Company's technology is deployed across United States Army Corps of Engineers facilities and is the subject of a research collaboration with the Centre for Active Resilience and Security at Imperial College London, led by Professor Washington Ochieng.

"Paul understands the regulatory and institutional landscape for operational resilience at a level that very few people in the world can claim — because he built a significant part of it," said R. Andrew Kingston, President and CEO of StealthPath. "The challenges we work on every day — bringing visibility to operational technology environments that have never had it, across facilities that lack the budget, the specialists, and the infrastructure to adopt conventional approaches — sit at the intersection of everything Paul has spent his career addressing. His guidance as we expand our work in the United Kingdom and across critical infrastructure internationally will be invaluable."

"The gap between what regulatory frameworks demand of critical infrastructure operators and what those operators can structurally deliver is one of the most significant challenges in cybersecurity today," said Paul Williams. "StealthPath is addressing that challenge at the point where it is hardest — inside the operational technology environments where visibility has historically been absent. I look forward to supporting the Company's work and contributing to the broader effort to strengthen resilience across the systems we all depend on."

The appointment reflects StealthPath's expanding engagement with the United Kingdom's critical infrastructure, defence, and regulatory communities. The Company's research collaboration with Imperial College London, established in late 2025 under the Trusted Data for Critical Infrastructure Resilience programme, is exploring how trusted operational data can reduce systemic risk across interconnected infrastructure systems. Williams's appointment strengthens the policy and regulatory dimension of that programme.

The appointment also reflects a broader convergence between cybersecurity regulation and financial stability. The operational resilience framework that Williams led the development of at the Bank of England — requiring financial institutions to identify critical business services, map dependencies, and demonstrate resilience under stress — established the regulatory template that is now being broadly adopted across many critical infrastructure sectors. Cyber insurance underwriters, investment bond markets, and reinsurers are increasingly requiring operational visibility as a condition of coverage or capital allocation. Williams's career, spanning the full arc from financial infrastructure operations through regulatory architecture to international policy coordination, positions him to advise StealthPath as these markets develop.

Williams joins an advisory structure that includes relationships spanning US federal critical infrastructure operations, international defence supply chains, academic research institutions, and the UK policy establishment. His appointment is the latest in a series of strategic developments as the Company prepares for its next phase of growth.
