Ruben Mbon

I'm a cybersecurity leader with over 15 years of experience spanning pharmaceutical and biotech, defense consulting, managed security services, and government contracting.

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.

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.
