Jaz Lin

Jaz Lin is a cybersecurity and product leader with over two decades of experience building secure, scalable systems across cloud, enterprise, and AI environments. She is the founder of Skyrelis, a company focused on securing agentic AI—AI systems that reason, plan, and act autonomously. Her work sits at the frontier of AI and cybersecurity, helping organizations manage risk and enforce guardrails at runtime, where real-world decisions are made. Throughout her career, Jaz has held roles spanning product strategy, go-to-market leadership, and hands-on security engineering. Her unique background—as both a vendor building security solutions and an enterprise leader evaluating and deploying them—gives her a full-stack perspective on what security needs to look like in today’s AI-powered world. Jaz is a active member of the OWASP AI Vulnerability Scoring System (AIVSS), a member of the U.S. CISA AI Security Working Group, and a board member of the Computer Science Department at Diablo Valley College, where she collaborates on initiatives that bring applied AI security into the classroom. She is a frequent contributor and speaker at industry conferences like RSA, DEF CON, and Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS), and a dedicated mentor to emerging founders and technologists. Outside of work, Jaz is a lifelong learner with a deep curiosity for the world. She enjoys picking up new skills—from learning a new sport to exploring new music or immersing herself in a new country. Whether it’s a concept, culture, or challenge, she thrives on discovery and growth. Her downtime often includes listening to the latest global playlists, trying her hand at unfamiliar activities, and connecting with people who see the world differently. For Jaz, building secure systems is not just a technical problem—it’s a human one. She believes the future of AI security will be shaped not just by innovation, but by inclusion, empathy, and the courage to ask better questions.
