D.O Lawal, PhD

Dr Lawal is a cybersecurity leader and digital products specialist who helps organisations build and scale digital products securely. His work focuses on ensuring that security is considered from the very beginning—across applications, business processes, and emerging technologies like AI.

Dr Lawal works closely with SMEs, growing and established large organisations to simplify cybersecurity, making it practical and relevant to real business challenges. In this session, he will explore how early decisions in building applications and using AI can introduce risk, and how businesses can put simple, effective controls in place to grow securely from day one.
