About

Brad Tenenholtz is a cybersecurity leader who has spent over a decade building and leading security programs across critical industries. His work has spanned enterprise security architecture, product security for FDA-regulated medical devices, and AI governance, giving him a practitioner's view of the gap between nation-state threats and enterprise reality.

Brad holds an MS in Cybersecurity from Indiana University and maintains CISSP certification. He speaks regularly at industry conferences on cybersecurity policy and AI security, translating complex technical challenges into strategic frameworks for executives, policymakers, and practitioners.

His current focus is the Sovereign Stack, a policy framework arguing that coordinated Western infrastructure denial is the key to shifting the balance of power in cyberspace. Rather than playing endless defense at the endpoint, Brad advocates for systematic coordination across identity, compute, financial, and distribution infrastructure to make attacks economically unviable.

When he's not thinking about nation-state threats, Brad builds AI-powered applications and writes about the intersection of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and geopolitics.
