About Mrinal
Cybersecurity leader and hands-on architect with a track record of building and scaling security programs at the intersection of AI, enterprise technology, and business risk.
I lead AI Security & Assurance and M&A Security initiatives, partnering with CISOs, CTOs, and engineering leaders to develop security strategies that enable innovation while maintaining strong risk governance.
My focus is on the challenges where security, emerging technology, and business velocity converge: securing AI and agentic systems, establishing model assurance and governance frameworks, building resilient security architectures, and integrating acquisitions without inheriting unacceptable risk. I specialize in translating ambiguity into scalable security programs, actionable architecture, and measurable outcomes.
My experience spans AI Security & Assurance, Agentic AI and MCP Security, Enterprise Security Architecture, Cloud and Application Security, Secure SDLC, DevSecOps, Threat Modeling, and Cybersecurity Due Diligence. Across each domain, my goal remains consistent: connecting executive strategy with engineering execution and transforming security objectives into capabilities teams can successfully operate and scale.
Author, speaker, and researcher working at the frontier of AI and emerging security challenges the threats that surface as new technology outpaces existing defenses.
