Founder of Gulf Coast Cyber, helping industrial operators adopt AI safely — security assessments, governance, training, and custom implementation. Founder of the Council for Industrial AI Safety (CIAS), an industry body setting governance standards for AI in critical infrastructure. Previously spent a decade at Lockheed Martin red teaming classified weapons platforms, followed by building the AI Red Team function at Thomson Reuters. NOVA Award recipient. Peer-reviewed author and active vulnerability researcher with confirmed findings in libarchive, FreeType, and DjVuLibre.
Foundational white paper from CIAS on AI safety governance for industrial operators — because after is too late. Covers risk frameworks, operational boundaries, and incident response for ML systems in environments where failure means vapor clouds, not error messages.
Vulnerability disclosure infrastructure was built for humans on both ends. That’s ending. This paper proposes vuln-intake.json — a machine-readable intake protocol for when AI agents are doing the finding and the triaging. Includes a working protocol spec, reference architecture, and analysis of the volume problem heading toward bug bounty platforms.
35.7 billion test executions, three confirmed findings including an RCE, 15 domain-specific harnesses built in under 30 minutes — all on a single desktop workstation. How coordinated AI agents are changing the economics of vulnerability research, and what it means for industrial AI safety.
AI Safety for Industrial Operations — 5-day on-site intensive for engineers, operators, and HSE professionals. Covers AI fundamentals, the AI attack surface, data security, safe deployment in safety-critical environments, and organizational governance. Built from offensive security experience — we teach what actually goes wrong, not theory. Details →
The AI Attack Surface: A Red Team Perspective
How AI systems actually get broken. Prompt injection, data poisoning, adversarial ML, and AI-powered social engineering.
Before the Incident
AI safety governance for critical infrastructure. Frameworks, operational boundaries, and incident response — before regulators force your hand.
Agentic Vulnerability Research
35 billion test executions, three findings, one RCE. How coordinated AI agents are changing the economics of security research.
Shadow AI in Industrial Operations
Your engineers are already using AI without policies. What’s at risk and how to get ahead of it.
Securing Industrial AI Deployments
Practical guidance for bringing AI into safety-critical environments without introducing new risk.
Available for advisory board roles and consulting engagements in industrial AI safety, AI security, offensive security automation, and vulnerability research programs.
