LLM Security Speaking for Enterprise

LLM Security Speaker

LLM security speakers usually come from academic research or adversarial security labs. Mark Lynd comes from the organization that had to deploy the LLM, govern it, secure it, and explain what happened when it broke. That operational frame is what most enterprise security audiences actually need. Mark is a 5x CIO/CISO, ranked Top 5 globally in both AI and cybersecurity by Thinkers360, and currently Head of Executive Advisory and Strategy at Netsync. He has run prompt injection red team exercises against enterprise agentic systems in production in 2026. He has reviewed RAG architectures with context poisoning vulnerabilities that no vendor assessment caught. He has briefed C-Suites and boards on what the OWASP LLM Top 10 means in plain language and what the organization needs to do about it. His LLM security content is from active advisory work this quarter, not from retrospective case studies. Prompt injection is the top LLM security risk. OWASP LLM01:2025. and the most underrepresented in enterprise security programs. An agent that reads external data is an agent that can be redirected by a threat actor who never touches your network. Customer emails, uploaded documents, web pages, database records containing user-supplied content. all of these are injection surfaces. Mark covers what this looks like in real production systems and what the pre-production red team gate that actually works looks like. RAG architecture creates a threat surface separate from the base model. Context poisoning, vector store write access controls, retrieval manipulation, and the governance question of who can write to the knowledge base the model trusts. these are active attack categories. Mark covers them with specificity that enterprise security teams can act on. The governance gap Mark sees consistently is the separation between the team shipping AI and the team responsible for security. Different vocabularies. Different executives. Different timelines. The result is LLM systems that pass a vendor compliance assessment and fail a real red team exercise in the same quarter. Mark's sessions are built to close that gap.
