Case Studies

Selected engagements at the frontier of agentic security

Anonymised summaries of recent missions across cyber insurance, multi-cloud security and group GRC. Details vary by industry and are kept deliberately broad to respect client confidentiality.

Cyber Insurance

AI driven cyber underwriting platform

Challenge

Insurers and reinsurers needed real time, evidence based cyber risk data to replace static questionnaires and accelerate the pricing workflow.

Approach

Designed and shipped a multi OS desktop application backed by an AI rating engine, with MCP native distribution to common assistant clients and an underlying incident intelligence corpus.

Outcome

A production grade platform recognised across the cyber insurance market.

Global Insurance Group

Worldwide CSPM rollout

Challenge

A multinational insurer operating across dozens of entities had a heterogeneous cloud security posture and no unified visibility.

Approach

Technical lead for the global deployment. Cross entity workshops, alignment of group security standards with local regulatory constraints and translation into implementable controls.

Outcome

A single CSPM signal across the entire group, with regulatory alignment per jurisdiction.

Asset Management, Tier 1 Banking

Post acquisition cyber maturity

Challenge

A newly acquired entity needed a formalised cyber programme aligned to the acquirer's group framework, with measurable, defensible evidence of progress.

Approach

Built a NIST based cybersecurity programme from the ground up. Controls, policies and procedures, risk register, structured reporting to group level stakeholders.

Outcome

Validated maturity progress within the acquirer's framework.

Diversified Holding, GCC

Group ISO 27001 certification

Challenge

A multi business holding with no unified information security management system, operating under regional data protection laws.

Approach

High level designs, application level IT risk assessments, group policy framework, Statement of Applicability, and alignment to regional regulatory requirements.

Outcome

Group wide ISO 27001 readiness with structured assurance per department.

Global Financial Information Provider

Security architecture stewardship

Challenge

A global enterprise required consistent security by design across every major digital initiative.

Approach

Acted as security architecture gatekeeper within enterprise architecture governance, with reusable blueprints across cloud, application and infrastructure domains.

Outcome

Accelerated secure delivery and stronger, more consistent control maturity.

Southeast Asia, Asset Backed Securities

Fractional CISO mandate

Challenge

An emerging investment platform needed senior cyber leadership to define its information security strategy and ISMS from day one.

Approach

Fractional CISO engagement covering target operating model, risk appetite, control catalogue and the regulatory roadmap, in coordination with a global banking parent.

Outcome

A defensible cyber posture, ready for investor and regulator scrutiny.

Publications & Recognition

A decade contributing to the public conversation

OWASP vulnerability research, an early social media search engine recognised at the highest level, and ongoing coverage of the agentic cyber underwriting work.

Manifesto

Autonomous agents need a new perimeter.

Legacy security was built for humans clicking buttons. Agents click thousands per minute, call external tools, spawn sub-agents and chain decisions across systems. The blast radius is no longer a session, it's a workflow.

My work re-anchors the perimeter at the place where intent meets execution: the tool call. I design authorization, observability and policy guardrails that make autonomous agents auditable, reversible and trustworthy at enterprise scale.

"In the agentic era, the question isn't can the AI take an action. It's should it, and can we prove it after the fact."
FAQ

Questions enterprises ask before engaging

Short answers to the questions that come up most often from boards, CISOs and AI platform teams scoping their first agentic security engagement.

What is Agentic Security and why does it matter now?

Agentic Security is the discipline of securing autonomous AI agents and the infrastructure they call into. Unlike a chatbot, an agent reasons, plans, invokes tools, spawns sub agents and chains decisions across systems. Each tool call is an executable action with real world impact, which means the security perimeter must move from the user session to the tool invocation itself. With the rapid adoption of Model Context Protocol, LangGraph, LangChain and frameworks like Azure AI Foundry, enterprises now ship agents into production faster than their security teams can catch up. Agentic Security is what closes that gap.

How does Agentic Security differ from traditional AI or LLM security?

Traditional LLM security focuses on the prompt and the model output: jailbreaks, prompt injection, hallucinations, data leakage at inference time. Agentic Security extends that perimeter to everything the agent can do once it has produced a plan, including authorization of tool calls, isolation of sub agents, observability of multi step workflows, reversibility of actions, and red teaming against tool chain abuse and data exfiltration. The blast radius is no longer a single response but an entire workflow.

What engagement models do you offer?

Three primary engagement models. Strategy: a board level diagnostic of your AI agent estate with a target architecture and a twelve month roadmap. Build: forward deployed engineering with your teams to implement guardrails, sub agent isolation, tool authorization and Langfuse observability in production. Assure: an independent agentic security audit including red teaming and a regulatory mapping pack ready for boardroom review. Fractional CISO engagements are also available for emerging platforms.

Which industries do you serve?

Regulated industries with high stakes, including banking, insurance and reinsurance, asset management, financial information providers, defense, healthcare, and the public sector. Twelve years of engagements span Europe, the GCC and Asia, with hands on experience for Swiss Re, AXA, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Thomson Reuters, Société Générale, Seddiqi Holding, NusaVest, Thales, Dassault Systèmes, Veolia, Baxter and Gemalto.

Which frameworks and regulations do you align with?

ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management systems, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, and the EU AI Act for AI specific governance. ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI DSS, DORA, NIS2, and regional regimes such as UAE PDPL, KSA PDPL and GDPR for information security and data protection. Engagements consistently translate these frameworks into deployable controls rather than paperwork.

Where are you based and how do you work?

Based across Singapore, Dubai, Paris and Palo Alto, with active engagements across three continents. Most work is delivered remotely, with on site visits scoped to the engagement. Typical projects run from a few weeks for a strategy or audit, to multi quarter programmes for full builds and fractional CISO mandates.

How do we get started?

A short scoping call, typically thirty minutes, no commitment. The call clarifies your agent estate, your regulatory exposure and the outcome you need. Most engagements start with a structured diagnostic and a written proposal within ten working days.

Let's talk

Securing your agentic platform starts with a conversation.
