Ashwini Siddhi — Co-Founder
Product Security professional focused on securing modern software systems through strategy, architecture, and innovation. As a Global Board Member at OWASP, I help shape security strategy aligned with the mission of eliminating insecure software. I also advise security startups on product direction, helping them embed secure-by-design principles while staying aligned with market needs. Previously, I’ve helped organizations build secure, resilient products—because “ship it and hope for the best” isn’t a security strategy. With expertise across Security Architecture, Supply Chain Security, Privacy by Design, Zero Trust, Ransomware Recovery, and Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), I’ve worked to embed security into every line of code and design decision—not just check a box. In my personal time, I research emerging threats and evolving attack surfaces, particularly in AI and agent-based systems. I’m also passionate about mentoring the next generation of security leaders through platforms like EWF and WiCyS—making complex security topics accessible and actionable. When I’m not working with founders or contributing to community initiatives, you’ll probably find me speaking at global forums—or casually judging the digital hygiene of everyday tech experiences. In short, I secure things so you don’t have to explain ‘why the breach’ on national TV! :)
