AI security for informed decisions.
Practical perspectives on protecting data, evaluating AI systems, and managing the risks of AI adoption.
AI security | Data protection | AI vendor risk | Governance
Understanding
AI risk.
Making informed
decisions.
Exploring how emerging technologies reshape risk, responsibility, and decision-making. From the tools we use today to the systems increasingly acting on our behalf.
Better questions.
Clearer decisions.
AI changes how information is used and how decisions are made. Understanding the risks starts with knowing what to ask.
Protecting data
in AI systems
What information enters an AI system, where does it go, and who can access it?
Evaluating
AI systems
Look beyond product promises to examine access, integrations, and security responsibilities.
Securing
AI adoption
Explore the controls, boundaries, and ongoing oversight that support responsible use.
Governance &
accountability
Connect technical risk with clear ownership and informed leadership decisions.
Ideas worth
bringing into the room.

Máire Sogabe
Máire Sogabe is a cybersecurity and technology risk leader whose experience spans CISO leadership, security governance, and complex technology programs across energy, aviation, financial services, and AI.
Her background bridges IT and operational technology—connecting security decisions with the systems, people, and business priorities they affect.
A practical lens on AI risk.
That experience shapes the questions she explores here: what data AI systems can access, how their actions are controlled, who is accountable, and what leaders need to understand before adopting them.
Through writing and public speaking, Máire connects emerging technology with the decisions that matter: protecting critical information, establishing clear oversight, and making informed choices as AI evolves.
