Ved Pandey is the Founder of Zero Dark 24, an AI Security, Risk and Governance company focused on helping organisations adopt AI securely, responsibly and at scale.
He believes AI security can no longer be viewed simply as an extension of traditional cybersecurity. As AI evolves into autonomous agents and becomes deeply embedded across enterprise systems, organisations need new approaches to visibility, risk assessment, security validation and governance.
Ved works with CISOs, technology leaders, AI teams and business leadership to understand emerging AI risks and build practical frameworks that enable innovation without compromising security, control and trust.
His work spans AI Security, AI Risk, AI Governance, AI-SPM, AI Red Teaming and Agentic AI Security, with a particular focus on helping enterprises move from AI experimentation to secure, governed adoption.
Through Zero Dark 24, Ved's mission is to help organisations move fast with AI — without losing control.
