Co-authored with Mohammed Tareq Alawadhi and Usman Mustafa, and with Khan also serving as the technical reviewer, the book addresses the urgent need to embed robust security practices within the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-powered software development.

“As AI systems become the backbone of global innovation, ensuring their security is not just an IT problem—it's a national and economic imperative,” stated Mansoor Ahmad Khan. “This book provides a vital blueprint for developers and security professionals to navigate this new terrain responsibly. Launching it here at GITEX Global, the heart of global tech, is the perfect platform.”
