Noorah Smith

I lead cyber, AI, and blockchain security at Alethea AI, where I guide a four-person security team supporting more than 50 developers. I design validation workflows, author custom security skills, and red team AI products against frontier models before release.

I harden AWS environments through least-privilege IAM, GuardDuty tuning, AWS WAF and Cloudflare rules, external attack-surface reduction, secure code review, and vendor risk assessments aligned to NIST 800-53.

Previously at XP.NETWORK, I attacked and hardened NFT bridge infrastructure, designed a decentralized bridge architecture, and implemented FROST for Solana in Rust. At a national-level CERT, I built SOC capabilities with Splunk and ELK while directing incident response, digital forensics, penetration testing, red teaming, malware analysis, and threat hunting.

My background also includes protecting power-plant systems and maintaining DCS and SCADA environments. I bring more than 15 years of hands-on offensive and defensive security experience across AI, cloud, blockchain, applications, and industrial control systems.
