The thing that changes most for the CISO is the conversation with the board.
Right now, the board asks, how do we know our AI systems are behaving appropriately?
The honest answer for most organization is, hey, we reviewed the design.
We approved the deployment.
We have a policy document.
That's attestation, right?
That's not evidence.
What governance looks like when you have a closed control loop is I can pull a time frame of every action that every agent took, every tool it called, every piece of data it touched, and I can show you exactly where policy was enforced and where it wasn't.
so that's fundamentally a different conversation and that's what moves ai security from a framework exercise to an operational capability so these i like to say those good runtime controls enable broader ai adoption not restricting it and this reframe lands well with cso's tired of being seen as blockers and security becomes the foundation not the ceiling
Thanks, Noah.
So actually my background, I spent over 10 years in Department of Energy in multiple roles from a network engineer all the way up to a CISO of the nuclear weapons plants.
So bringing the experience from the customer side in a highly regulated environment, then spent several years running a consulting company where working with those same highly regulated industries.
When I joined Wallarm, I had worked with APIs, had worked with automation for quite a while and really interested to how do we bring that security to the customers, right?
Both from an API and an AI perspective is that that continues to evolve.
And then outside of work, pretty hands-on, play guitar, spend time in the yard, like to mess with my lawn quite a bit.
A lot of my weekends revolve around kids' activities, horse shows and baseball and football.
And so it keeps me pretty busy and always somewhere to be.
kind of level setting where we're coming from too, right?
AI is really interesting.
The fact that it really does permeate all parts of the business from IT, cyber, compliance, obviously the business itself, it's adding value and accelerating work.
