AI/ML Pipeline Security: Secure AI/ML systems, addressing model theft, poisoning, and inference attacks, while implementing defenses and guardrails. Data Security & Privacy: Safeguard data ecosystems using encryption, tokenization, and differential privacy, ensuring compliance with Security, and AI regulations. Secure SDLC Leadership: Integrate security tools into CI/CD pipelines, define secure SDLC gates, and lead threat modeling workshops.
