Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how financial institutions identify, connect, and act on cybersecurity risk. For Bhavya Bhandari, a technology and cybersecurity risk management leader with more than 15 years advising financial institutions, the key shift is not simply faster detection. It is the ability to connect technical findings, control weaknesses, AI governance obligations, regulatory expectations, and business impact into an integrated model for cybersecurity risk oversight.
Bhandari is a trusted advisor to executive leadership and boards, specializing in cybersecurity strategy, governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and exam preparedness across regulatory frameworks. His work has focused on helping financial institutions build scalable risk programs and translate cybersecurity, regulatory, and AI-related risk into measurable business and resiliency outcomes.
