ABOUT DERRISA T.

I am an AI and Cybersecurity Professional with over three years of experience as a Project Delivery Analyst, specializing in the delivery of secure, enterprise-grade AI solutions. I recently earned my MSc in Cyber Security Management with Distinction from the University of Warwick, where I was a recipient of the WMG Excellence Scholarship. This academic foundation has allowed me to build advanced expertise in risk analysis, digital forensics, network security, and cybersecurity consultancy.A significant milestone in my career is my research in Generative AI security. I authored a published study in the Journal of Cybersecurity and Privacy that introduced a Practical Incident-Response Framework for Generative AI Systems (GenAI-IRF). This work bridges the gap between traditional security standards and AI assurance, formalizing structured playbooks aligned with NIST, MITRE ATLAS, and OWASP LLM Top-10 to address emerging threats such as model manipulation and prompt-based privilege escalation.Prior to my postgraduate studies, I led end-to-end project deliveries for Conversational AI solutions at Quantiphi Analytics Solutions. By collaborating closely with technical teams and stakeholders, I ensured the implementation of secure, compliant systems in cloud environments. My work resulted in a 95% response accuracy rate and earned the Dynamo Award for driving measurable business impact through reliable, secure delivery.I am now seeking opportunities to apply my expertise in vulnerability assessment, cyber risk management, and AI governance to help organizations build resilient digital ecosystems. I welcome the opportunity to connect with professionals and researchers to explore collaborative innovation in the cybersecurity and AI space.
