Mumbai: Mirror Security has announced the appointment of Albert Sisto as an Independent Board Member, as the company accelerates its efforts to build an encryption layer for the AI era.
Sisto, former Chief Operating Officer at RSA Security, brings over four decades of experience across public companies, startups, venture capital, and private equity. Widely regarded as a pioneer in enterprise security software, he played a key role in transforming RSA into a global standard for public-key encryption and digital trust.
Mirror Security, a research-driven cybersecurity company spun out of University College Dublin, is focused on enabling secure AI adoption through advanced cryptographic technologies. The company has developed a production-ready Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) engine optimized for AI workloads, allowing computation on encrypted data without decryption—an approach described as “encryption in use.”
This innovation aims to address growing concerns around data privacy and intellectual property risks in AI systems, where enterprise data processed by large language models (LLMs) is often exposed in plaintext, making it vulnerable to extraction and misuse.
“We are truly excited to welcome Al to the Mirror Security board. His experience in building RSA into the global standard for digital trust is not just a credential it’s a blueprint. Al has done this before: taking a cryptographic breakthrough and transforming it into an enterprise-grade product the world depends on. As we enter our next phase of growth, his strategic guidance, enterprise relationships, and deep understanding of how security categories are built will be invaluable. We look forward to working alongside him to establish Mirror Security as the encryption layer the AI era demands,” said Pankaj Thapa, Co-Founder & CEO, Mirror Security
Sisto’s appointment underscores the company’s intent to scale its enterprise go-to-market strategy and deepen engagement with regulated industries globally. His experience in scaling security platforms and identifying category-defining technologies is expected to play a key role in Mirror Security’s next phase of growth.
“In the early days of the internet, securing online commerce was the critical requirement—and RSA became the foundation of trust for digital transactions worldwide. Today, securing AI usage represents an opportunity orders of magnitude larger. The team at Mirror has developed a platform that I believe can surpass the success of RSA, creating the encryption layer for AI that enterprises and governments urgently need,” said Albert (Al) Sisto, Independent Board Member, Mirror Security.
