We are pioneering AI risk management solutions that bridge the gap between cybersecurity and AI
Mileva Security Labs was born out of Harriet Farlow's passion for protecting what matters most—people, technology, and the future of innovation.
After seeing first-hand the vulnerabilities in AI systems and the growing complexity of security challenges, Harriet founded Mileva Security Labs to bridge the gap between AI advancement and the need for robust risk management.
Our mission is simple: to help organisations harness the power of AI securely and responsibly, ensuring that innovation is always protected by strong, forward-thinking risk strategies.
Harriet's journey began at Deloitte Australia, where she specialised in Defence portfolio projects as a Senior Consultant. Her career also spans roles as a Data Scientist at the University of Sydney and as Senior Delivery Lead at a tech education start-up in New York City. She returned to Canberra to work for the Australian Government, where she served at the intersection of data science, cyber security, and national security, eventually becoming an acting Tech Director.
She holds a degree in Physics and Bio-anthropology, along with a Master's in Cyber Security. In 2021 she commenced a PhD in Machine Learning Security. This is where she encountered AI Security and adversarial machine learning for the first time.

Mileva Marić was Albert Einstein's first wife. She was one of the first women to graduate with a degree in Physics and Mathematics from their university in 1899. She collaborated with Einstein on his early theories. However, the extent of this collaboration was always contested and her domestic duties were prioritised over her own academic pursuits.
We name our company in honour of her, and all the other women and men who dreamed of reaching their full potential.
