About
I'm the Founder/CEO of Hackrew, the cybersecurity firm helping companies keep their data secure. Hackrew helps companies identify and remedy the security blind spots in their online infrastructure. We act as the shadow security team and facilitate fixing these vulnerabilities. Essentially, we take care of the end-to-end security needs of our customers. Hackrew also organizes live hacking events in association with various state government and other government entities in India where hundreds of independent security researchers join and discover critical vulnerabilities that are immediately patched. I am the owner and chief editor of InfoSec Writeups, the largest InfoSec-related publication on Medium with 50,000+ followers. Started in 2017, Infosec Writeups has now grown to become one of the go-to places for any infosec-related resources on the internet. I did my Bachelors in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, IIT - Guwahati, 2013-17 batch. I'm passionate about finding creative solutions to existing problems, and that's how the vision for Hackrew took root in my brain. We've since worked with 30+ companies based in the US, Australia, and India, and currently have a 6-member team working full-time for keeping the business and customer data of our clients secure.
