    S624:E1🎙️ Industry Guest Speaker Unmesh Suryawanshi Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ - Season 624 | Episode 1 TEDx-like Talk for CSTU CSE/MB624: Network Security & AI   📅 Mark Your Calendars! 📅 Date: Monday, April 6, 2026 ⏰ Time: 3:00 PM PT (San Francisco, CA) 📍 LIVE on LinkedIn → RSVP & Join the Discussion   Today, we have the privilege of learning from a leader who sits at the cutting edge of streaming technology, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence—Unmesh Suryawanshi.   Unmesh currently serves as Head of Streaming and Security at Visa, where he leads some of the most sensitive and high-impact media and security initiatives globally—combining AI, cloud transformation, and secure video infrastructure to power next-generation digital experiences.     His work spans: •Secure global media ecosystems •AI-powered streaming (translation, transcription, personalization) •Security architecture and privacy-by-design •Large-scale cloud and broadcast infrastructure   But what makes his journey even more powerful is how early it started.   At just 11 years old, Unmesh was already assembling computers. By middle school, he had built his first network—laying the foundation for a career that would eventually influence global fintech infrastructure and secure digital media at scale.   He is not just a practitioner—but a thought leader shaping how we think about cybersecurity in a video-first, AI-driven world.   Today’s session: 👉 “Cybersecurity in the Streaming Era: AI, Video, and Risk”   This is not just about technology. This is about how leaders must rethink risk, privacy, and governance in a world where video is the new data layer.   ⸻   🎯 Session Framing   As future cybersecurity leaders, engineers, and technologists—pay attention to three things during this session: 1.What new attack surfaces are emerging beyond traditional IT systems? 2.How AI is both an enabler AND a threat in modern architectures 3.What leadership decisions—not just technical controls—are required to manage risk
