- AI Security Governance: Implementing guardrails for internal AI models and defending against AI-powered social engineering and deepfakes.
- Vulnerability Management: Managing complex, risk-based vulnerability programs that prioritize threats based on actual business impact rather than just "high" CVSS scores.
