Brass Tower is led by Chris Schneider. With over 25 years of experience, Chris brings broad knowledge spanning engineering and product leadership, threat identification, and remediation of emerging security gaps across industry.
Chris holds advanced degrees in cryptography and machine learning, with a focused practice at the intersection of both — securing AI and ML systems at architecture level. Alongside CISSP certification from ISC2, the work bridges research and applied security — including leading dynamic control systems for AI agents, building reusable machine learning personalization architectures, and designing custom security controls for specialized hardware devices.
Having held security leadership positions for over 15 years across organizations including Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Microsoft AI, Chris has led both research and engineering teams at scale — and brings that depth to bear on the focused, high-impact advisory work Brass Tower delivers.
