It will also share practical ways to align AI governance with existing security programs\, SOC operations\, risk management\, and executive reporting. Attendees will leave with clear ideas they can apply immediately to reduce AI-related risk while still supporting innovation and business speed. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad is a cybersecurity consultant\, author\, researcher\, and speaker focused on AI governance\, security operations\, and practical cyber risk reduction. His work focuses on helping organizations adopt AI responsibly while strengthening cybersecurity maturity\, SOC effectiveness\, and board-level risk visibility. \nHe is the author of AI-Driven Transformation of the SOC and SecOps and works across cybersecurity strategy\, governance\, compliance\, and emerging technology risk. Adeel regularly speaks on responsible AI\, AI security\, cyber risk\, and the evolving role of security leaders in an AI-driven world. \nMeeting Details: The meeting place (in-person location and Zoom info) will be announced closer to the meeting day. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).
