AI Security for Executives Part 4: Data and Model Poisoning
August 6, 2025
On the importance of good data.
My clients come to me when their technology is creating
more problems than it solves. As a strategic advisor, my focus is on bringing
simplicity and clarity to these complex situations.
I work with you to
transform confusing initiatives into coherent strategies, streamline
inefficient operations, and eliminate wasteful spending.
The goal is to provide a clear path forward for your technology, allowing you to move beyond daily problems and build for the future.
Areas of expertise: IT Operations, Cloud Migration, Cyber Security Audit, Infrastructure Consolidation, Technical Writing, or AI Enabled Process Optimization.
IT consulting, as a single resource to fill a gap or as a leader of a team.
Now taking a select few clients for Q3 2025.
Challenge: A private equity-owned company faced extreme cyber risk with no established cybersecurity program. The CEO brought me in to evaluate and fix the situation.
Approach: I took direct management of the team, immediately assessed the vulnerabilities, deployed cutting-edge security tools, and began closing the most critical gaps.
Results: Transformed this into one of the company's highest-performing functions. Achieved a 90% reduction in critical vulnerabilities, revolutionized incident management capabilities, and reduced average security incident response time to minutes.
Challenge: 13 acquired companies needed consolidation so their systems could be properly secured and employees correctly identified across the organization.
Approach: Created a unified directory service as the foundation for corporate identity management.
Results: Reduced employee onboarding time to just 1 hour, eliminated 99% of orphaned accounts, and significantly improved security posture. Scaled capacity to onboard 1,000+ new employees in this rapidly growing enterprise.
Challenge: A company operated four separate call centers with four different vendors—one per product line—essentially increasing costs with no added value.
Approach: Radically simplified operations by migrating to a single, cloud-based call center platform.
Results: Achieved approximately 50% cost savings, enabled flexible team management across all product lines, improved reporting and visibility for leadership, and consolidated security with SSO, MFA, and advanced monitoring capabilities.
You can get an idea of my thought process through my substack.
