Nikhil Mittal — Co-Founder

I specialise in building security programs from the ground up for rapidly scaling SaaS companies. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve served as a founding and senior engineer across AppSec, Product Security, and Cloud Security—designing secure architectures, hardening cloud environments, and embedding DevSecOps ecosystems that dramatically reduce risk without slowing teams down. My work has helped companies cut high-risk vulnerabilities by 70–80%, eliminate major OWASP Top 10 classes, pass SOC 2/ISO 27001 audits with zero major findings, and detect misconfigurations before they impact customers. I’ve also delivered developer training, internal tooling, threat modelling workshops, and hands-on security automation aligned to engineering velocity. As a regular security researcher and speaker at conferences like BlackHat, 36C3, and PhDays, I bring both an offensive mindset and a strong engineering lens to solving modern product and cloud security challenges. I thrive in environments where I can build, influence, automate, and help engineering teams ship secure, resilient products at scale.
