SECURITY FIRST BUILDER

MARK FENNER

Security should be baked in. Not bolted on.

9+ Years in Security, Governance, Risk, & Compliance@_markfennerFounder, Leveron.io
WHO I AM

I'm Mark. Security professional turned builder. 9+ years in governance, risk, and compliance across financial services, cybersecurity, and federal environments. Now I design, develop, and deploy AI systems, automation, and infrastructure with security woven into every layer.

I'm the founder of Leveron, a B2B lead to meeting automation agency. What keeps me going is where we are in tech right now. The possibilities are real, the tools are accessible, and the ceiling hasn't been found yet. That excites me about what's ahead.

When I'm not indoors glued to the screen, I'm spending time with my family, running Spartan races, and staying active outdoors.

WHAT I SEE

Right now, 78% of organizations are deploying agentic AI systems. Enterprise spending on agentic AI is projected to hit $201.9 billion this year alone. AI startups pulled in $89.4 billion in venture capital last year, a third of all global VC funding. The speed of adoption is unlike anything I've seen in my career.

But here's what concerns me. Only 6% of organizations have actually secured their AI deployments. Fewer than 20% have formal processes to rotate API keys. Shadow AI breaches are averaging $4.6 million per incident. The SEC has made AI and cybersecurity its top examination priority for 2026, displacing crypto entirely. Governance frameworks that were built for pilot programs are collapsing under real scale.

Everyone has access to the tools now. The barrier to building is gone. But the barrier to building securely is wide open. That gap between adoption speed and security readiness is exactly where I focus my work.
