Fractional Head of AI Security / AI Cybersecurity Strategist

Safeguarding Your AI Future: Strategic Leadership for a Secure AI Ecosystem

The promise of Artificial Intelligence is immense, but so are its inherent risks.

As organizations rapidly adopt AI, new vulnerabilities emerge across the entire technology stack, from data integrity and model security to compliance and ethical AI use.

Without a proactive, strategic approach to AI security, your innovations are exposed to evolving cyber threats, data breaches, and regulatory pitfalls.

I provide executive-level leadership, leveraging my 25+ years in tech and deep expertise at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, to establish and mature your organization's AI security posture.

My unique ability to connect complex threats with innovative, actionable solutions ensures your AI initiatives are not only transformative but also fundamentally secure.

The Challenge: Navigating AI's Expanding Threat Landscape

Many organizations find themselves at a critical juncture: they are investing heavily in AI but lack the specialized expertise to secure these complex, rapidly evolving systems. This leads to common and critical challenges:

• Emerging AI-Specific Threats: Vulnerabilities like data poisoning, model evasion, prompt injection, and AI supply chain attacks are not covered by traditional cybersecurity measures.

• Data Privacy & Compliance Gaps: Managing sensitive data within AI/ML pipelines and ensuring compliance with regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA, or federal mandates) becomes exponentially more complex.

• Lack of AI Governance: Without clear policies and frameworks, the responsible and secure development and deployment of AI models can spiral out of control, leading to ethical dilemmas and legal liabilities.

• Operational Security for MLOps: Securing the continuous integration, delivery, and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for machine learning models is a specialized challenge that often gets overlooked.

• GenAI Risk Mitigation: Safely integrating powerful Generative AI models without exposing sensitive information, amplifying bias, or violating intellectual property is a significant hurdle.

My Solution: Strategic AI Security Leadership & Implementation

As your Fractional Head of AI Security or AI Cybersecurity Strategist, I partner with your leadership and technical teams to build a resilient, future-proof AI security framework.
