Dallas, Texas – June , 2025 — In a bold step toward redefining cybersecurity audit practices, The Written Owl proudly highlights the groundbreaking work of Omotayo F. Salako, a first-generation immigrant and senior IT auditor who is revolutionizing risk management through artificial intelligence. Her AI-powered innovations are reshaping how organizations detect and defend against modern cyber threats.
With over seven years of experience at the intersection of audit, governance, and AI, Omotayo has developed tools and frameworks that address the growing complexity of cybersecurity risks faced by industries worldwide.
AI Meets Cyber Risk: A New Era of Digital Protection
Recognizing the limitations of traditional IT audits, Omotayo developed the Smart Cyber Audit Tool (SCAT)—a machine-learning-powered system that automates the detection of control gaps and accelerates cyber risk analysis. Widely adopted across fintech and enterprise sectors, SCAT allows faster, more intelligent assessments of IT systems under pressure from sophisticated threats.
“AI is the future of cybersecurity audits,” Omotayo says. “We’re not just identifying risks faster—we’re creating a more resilient digital ecosystem.”

Through The Written Owl, Omotayo leads the GRC Bootcamp, a training program designed to upskill early-career professionals—especially women and underrepresented minorities—in AI-driven audit practices. With a 75% placement success rate, the program demonstrates her commitment to not only innovation but also equity in tech.
“Diversity strengthens cybersecurity,” she explains. “It brings fresh perspectives to solving complex problems.”
Global Cyber Governance Expertise
Omotayo’s methodology blends internationally recognized standards—such as ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-53, and COBIT—with deep cloud governance experience across AWS, Azure, and Workday platforms. Her integrated approach helps clients prepare for audits and ensure end-to-end data protection in an increasingly complex digital infrastructure landscape.
The Future: Smarter, Safer, and More Inclusive
Looking ahead, Omotayo envisions AI-driven cybersecurity models that are predictive, adaptive, and inclusive by design. With increasing regulatory demands and rising threats, organizations are turning to leaders like Salako for solutions that combine cutting-edge tech with thoughtful governance.
