Steven Bolt

Steven is a senior cybersecurity leader specializing in Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), with a track record of building and operating programs that translate threat exposure into measurable risk reduction. He leads the design and deployment of a multi-tier CTEM program spanning vulnerability management, attack path validation, and AI-driven exposure analytics, grounded in frameworks like NIST CSF and CMMC but focused on operational execution rather than compliance checkboxes. His current research applies AI and autonomy to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) security, examining RF spectrum vulnerabilities and drone information assurance in a program aligned with DARPA funding priorities. Beyond his industry role, Steven is a University professor and trains law enforcement investigators through the California Department of Justice on AI-enabled crime, bringing a practitioner's perspective to the intersection of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity.
