About Matt Morris

I help enterprises secure the infrastructure civilization runs on — and build the capabilities to keep it secure as AI rewrites the rules of risk.I\'ve scaled security and resilience practices from concept to enterprise-grade, grown revenue 19x, and built multidisciplinary teams to 100 professionals. My work sits at the convergence of OT/ICS security, enterprise IT, AI governance, and board-level accountability — specifically in environments where failure isn\'t theoretical. It\'s operational, financial, and public.Organizations engage me at the VP/SVP level when the problem is structural- OT/IT programs that need to be stood up or reset- AI risk that leadership can\'t yet quantify or govern- Boards that need security translated into decisions, not dashboards- Security investment that isn\'t connecting to commercial outcomesI work across engineering, operations, legal, and commercial teams — not because I\'m good at politics, but because that\'s where the real risk lives.Recognized by Thinkers360 as a global top thought leader in National Security, AI Orchestration, AI Governance, Risk Management, and Security.Member: Forbes Technology Council | Gartner Technology Council | Israeli Startup Advisory Network (ISAN)| Wharton Executive EducationIf you\'re a CISO, board member, or executive staring down critical infrastructure risk, AI governance pressure, or the convergence of both — I\'m worth a conversation.
