AI/ML Security Assessments & Risk Management

• Conduct comprehensive security assessments of AI/ML systems, including data pipelines, model training environments, inference endpoints, and MLOps workflows.
• Identify complex risks related to data privacy, data leakage, adversarial attacks, model poisoning, prompt injection, and misuse of AI technologies.
• Evaluate threats across the AI lifecycle—from data collection to model retirement—and define appropriate mitigation actions.

AI Governance & Security Controls

• Develop and implement security controls, governance frameworks, and policies for end-to-end AI lifecycle management.
• Support clients in complying with AI regulations, responsible AI principles, and data protection requirements (e.g., GDPR, NIST AI RMF).Create strategic roadmaps and executive-level recommendations for secure AI adoption.

Cloud & Infrastructure Security for AI

• Understanding of AI threats such as adversarial ML, data contamination, and model theft.Experience with container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) and MLOps tools (SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML, MLflow).
• Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to present findings to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as CCSP, CISSP, CCIE, AWS/Azure/GCP Security Specialty, or AI governance credentials.
• Experience in responsible AI, AI policy, or AI compliance frameworks.
• Background in security engineering, threat modeling, or red teaming for AI systems.
