Security Architect → AI Security | 15+ Years Breaking & Building
$ whoami
I'm Gigia Tsiklauri, a security architect based in Tbilisi, Georgia. For the past 15+ years I've been breaking into systems, building defenses, and helping organizations understand their actual risk. Not the version that looks good on a slide deck.
Currently leading security architecture and operations for a financial portfolio serving 20+ million customers at TBC Uzbekistan. On the side, I run infosec.ge, a security consultancy I founded 15 years ago.
My focus now is where it gets interesting: AI security. Red-teaming LLMs, probing adversarial ML vulnerabilities, securing agentic AI deployments, and helping engineering teams understand what it actually means to ship AI responsibly.
