Sumit Birajdar — Director of Engineering
With 12+ years of experience in cybersecurity, I help organizations protect what matters most—critical data, digital assets, and customer trust. My journey spans multiple industries including financial services, technology, and now cryptocurrency, where I currently serve as Director of Security at a leading crypto exchange. I specialize in: Building and scaling enterprise-wide security programs from the ground up Securing virtual assets ecosystems, wallets (HSM, MPC), and DeFi applications Leading incident response and fraud prevention for high-stakes environments Driving local regulatory compliance and international standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27701). Aligning security strategies with business growth and innovation What drives me is more than just mitigating risks—it’s enabling safe adoption of emerging technologies. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, operations, and innovation, ensuring security becomes a business enabler, not a blocker. Outside of work, I engage with the broader cybersecurity community, exchanging insights on threat intelligence, crypto regulation, and the future of digital trust. Always open to connecting with fellow leaders, innovators, and security professionals.
