Inside Deep Armor: Building Cybersecurity Solutions Grounded in Trust

A Vision of Trust and Expertise in Cybersecurity Solutions

Sumanth’s journey began with a vision to create cybersecurity solutions grounded in trust. Having worked at Intel, he saw firsthand how crucial it is for companies to feel confident in their security measures. “Cybersecurity has always been about trust,” he explained. This commitment to trust, combined with deep technical expertise, forms the foundation of Deep Armor’s trust-based cybersecurity solutions today.

From Intel to Deep Armor: Building Trust-Based Cybersecurity Solutions

After many years at Intel, Naropanth decided to start Deep Armor with a small team of trusted colleagues. However, he quickly realized that running a business required much more than technical skills. Indeed, he had to learn about compliance, client relations, and management. Over time, his company grew steadily, earning a reputation for offering high-quality, trust-based cybersecurity solutions for both Fortune 50 companies and small startups alike.

Cloud Security Challenges and Trust-Based Solutions

A significant topic Naropanth discussed was the shared responsibility model in cloud computing, a challenge where trust-based cybersecurity solutions are essential. As more companies move to the cloud, many fail to fully understand their security responsibilities. While cloud providers like AWS secure the infrastructure (“of the cloud”), companies must protect their applications and configurations (“in the cloud”). This gap often creates vulnerabilities, which Deep Armor addresses through comprehensive cloud cybersecurity solutions.

Gauntlet: Continuous Cloud Security Monitoring and Trusted Cybersecurity

To tackle the need for frequent security checks, Deep Armor developed Gauntlet, a solution focused on continuous, trust-based cloud security. Unlike one-time audits, Gauntlet monitors cloud security posture every 12-24 hours. This proactive approach allows companies to respond quickly to evolving threats. Soon to launch as a standalone company, Gauntlet aims to meet the growing demand for continuous cloud security solutions that clients can trust.

Supporting Small and Mid-Sized Companies with Trust-Based Cybersecurity

Deep Armor serves clients of all sizes, providing cybersecurity solutions grounded in trust. Naropanth noted that smaller companies, despite limited budgets, are often highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. “For many small businesses, cybersecurity is often assigned to engineers without enough resources,” he said. To support these clients, Deep Armor offers affordable trust-based cybersecurity solutions that allow startups to gradually strengthen their defenses.

The Seven Deadly Sins of Startup Cybersecurity and Trust

One of Deep Armor’s programs, “The Seven Deadly Sins of Startup Cybersecurity,” identifies common cybersecurity mistakes that small companies often make. These include lacking an executive to lead cybersecurity, relying on bug bounties instead of proactive testing, and ignoring “shift-left” practices. Through this framework, Deep Armor provides trusted cybersecurity solutions that help startups navigate cybersecurity without losing agility.

Embracing AI Security Challenges with Trust-Based Solutions

The rise of AI in digital services has introduced new security risks, especially in chatbot interfaces. Naropanth discussed cases where attackers tricked AI systems into performing unauthorized actions. To address these new challenges, Deep Armor promotes AI Security Posture Management within its trust-based cybersecurity solutions. With tools like Gauntlet, Deep Armor helps clients manage risks in both AI and cloud security, staying ahead of emerging threats.

Looking Ahead: A Company Built on Trust and Technical Knowledge

Deep Armor’s success is rooted in both technical expertise and a genuine passion for trust-based cybersecurity solutions. The team fosters a collaborative environment with an “open door” policy that encourages innovation and knowledge sharing. Regular “Tech Thursdays” sessions keep the team updated on industry developments, directly benefiting the quality and reliability of their cybersecurity solutions.

‍

As organizations continue to face complex cybersecurity challenges, Deep Armor provides a model of trust-based cybersecurity solutions that emphasize proactive, high-quality protection. Through Gauntlet’s continuous cloud security and consulting services for startups, Deep Armor demonstrates that effective cybersecurity is about understanding and addressing each client’s unique needs with integrity and transparency. For those in the cybersecurity field or businesses seeking stronger digital defenses, Deep Armor offers trusted cybersecurity solutions built for today’s threats.
