Principal Advisor

CISA, CISM, CISSP, CRISC, CCAK, AAIA, AAISM, AAIR, CFE, CCEP, FCA, FCTI, FFAR, ISO/IEC 42001 LA, ISO/IEC 27001 LA, ISO/IEC 27701 LA

Dr. Nath Alagbe is the founder and Principal Advisor of CyberVerge Advisory LLC. He start­ed the firm on a sim­ple be­lief: lead­ers make bet­ter de­ci­sions when tech­nol­o­gy risk is ex­plained in plain lan­guage and tied to ac­tion. He sets the firm's meth­ods and qual­i­ty stan­dards and brings sub­ject-mat­ter ex­per­tise to every ser­vice it of­fers.

He has spent more than 12 years in the U.S. fi­nan­cial ser­vices in­dus­try, work­ing across IT audit, tech­nol­o­gy risk and con­trols, IT GRC, third-party risk, AI gov­er­nance, AI risk, AI se­cu­ri­ty, and AI audit. As au­di­tor-in-charge, he de­liv­ered every planned cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty and IT audit on sched­ule. He has gov­erned more than 50 AI use cases in an en­ter­prise AI in­ven­to­ry, each with an as­signed owner and risk tier, and helped close 95% of 87 con­trol gaps with­in agreed time­lines.

His ex­per­tise spans tech­nol­o­gy, AI, and fi­nance. In tech­nol­o­gy, he holds the CISA, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, and CCAK cer­ti­fi­ca­tions and is a Lead Auditor for ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701. That back­ground an­chors the firm's IT audit, cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty, readi­ness, and pri­va­cy work. In AI, he is an ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor and holds ISACA's AAIA, AAISM, and AAIR, cov­er­ing AI audit, AI se­cu­ri­ty, and AI risk. In fi­nance, he holds a PhD in Forensic Accounting and Audit, is a Certified Fraud Examiner, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.

He also teach­es. He de­signs prac­ti­tion­er train­ing and toolk­its for audit and risk pro­fes­sion­als, holds the Certified Cybersecurity Educator Professional cre­den­tial, and writes reg­u­lar­ly about ev­i­dence, con­trols, and AI risk at natha­lagbe.com.

Samson Amos

Director of IT Audit & Advisory

CISSP, CCSP, CISA, CISM, CRISC, CDPSE

Samson Amos is an IT Audit Manager and Vice President with deep ex­pe­ri­ence in tech­nol­o­gy risk, cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty, cloud gov­er­nance, and reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance across glob­al fi­nan­cial ser­vices, health­care, and tech­nol­o­gy en­ter­pris­es. He brings more than 12 years of ex­pe­ri­ence de­liv­er­ing com­plex IT au­dits, strength­en­ing con­trol en­vi­ron­ments, and ad­vis­ing se­nior ex­ec­u­tives on emerg­ing risks.

At Citi, Samson leads high-risk tech­nol­o­gy and AML-in­te­grat­ed au­dits, eval­u­ates au­to­mat­ed con­trols and cloud in­fra­struc­ture, and dri­ves re­me­di­a­tion of reg­u­la­to­ry is­sues across crit­i­cal ap­pli­ca­tions and data en­vi­ron­ments. He gets to grips with com­plex sys­tems quick­ly, finds the con­trol gaps, and turns find­ings into prac­ti­cal steps the busi­ness can act on.

He has built audit func­tions from the ground up, ma­tured cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty pro­grams, and led glob­al ERP and cloud se­cu­ri­ty as­sess­ments at or­ga­ni­za­tions in­clud­ing Nodriam LLC, Johnson & Johnson, and Investors Bank. That work im­proved SOX com­pli­ance, strength­ened ven­dor risk over­sight, and raised the stan­dard of cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty gov­er­nance.

Samson holds six in­dus­try cer­ti­fi­ca­tions: CISSP, CCSP, CISA, CISM, CRISC, and CDPSE. He sup­ports en­gage­ments in IT risk man­age­ment, cy­ber­se­cu­ri­ty as­sess­ments, cloud and ap­pli­ca­tion se­cu­ri­ty, ITGC and ITAC re­views, SOC readi­ness, and audit pro­gram op­ti­miza­tion.

In the restau­rant in­dus­try, he led ef­forts that achieved com­pli­ance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) across all lo­ca­tions of a restau­rant chain.
