Speaking
I talk about security leadership, WAAP and application-layer defense, cloud-native protection, and the bridge between security strategy and product — often from the seat of someone who's been the CISO in the room you're trying to sell to.
Topics I speak on
- Security leadership at venture-backed companies — building security functions from the first hire, ISO 27001 as an operational discipline not a checkbox, and what metrics actually move the room.
- WAAP & application-layer defense — what modern web and API protection looks like when the attack surface is cloud-native and the attackers know it.
- Supply-chain incident response — lessons from the engineer seat and the CISO seat on the same class of problem.
- AI for defensive security — what earns its keep in detection, triage, and IR, versus what's just a demo.
