About
Ruben Mbon
AI Security & Cyber Operations Leader
I'm a cybersecurity leader with over 15 years of experience spanning pharmaceutical and biotech, defense consulting, managed security services, and government contracting.
Foundation
My foundation is in incident response and cyber operations — building and leading SOCs and Cyber Fusion Centers, managing security incidents, and developing detection and response capabilities across complex enterprise environments.
Current Focus
Increasingly, my focus is shifting toward AI security — understanding how AI transforms the threat landscape, securing AI/ML systems against adversarial attacks, and applying frameworks like NIST AI RMF to manage AI risk.
Background
I hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity from the University of Maryland Global Campus, along with CISSP and GCPM certifications.
This Site
This site is where I write about what I'm learning and thinking about — AI security, incident response, cyber defense, and the intersection of emerging technology and security. No consulting pitches, no sales funnels — just an IR lead sharing what he knows.
