Author and Risk Advisory Practice Lead at UltraViolet Cyber

John M. Waller is the Risk Advisory Practice Lead at UltraViolet Cyber, where he works at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI governance, and enterprise risk. Over more than 25 years in cybersecurity, software engineering, and risk management, he has designed and implemented governance frameworks for organizations where mature standards didn't yet exist, including structured API governance models and cloud governance architectures for SaaS and infrastructure-as-code environments. He holds a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from Colorado State University. He is the author of The Unconstrained Machine: How to Control AI Before It Controls Us, which develops Constraint Theory, a framework for engineering enforceable, measurable constraints into AI systems rather than relying on principles and policy alone.
