About RUDRA

Building security from experience.

We defend the maritime fleets, power grids, financial networks, and operational technology that civilisation actually runs on.

Who we are

Deeply technical.
Built on trust.

A deeply technical company developing products that protect modern civilisation. We serve the requirements of multiple industries across the spectrum of critical infrastructure.

Rudra was founded in 2019 with a mission to protect humanity. Today we operate from Dubai, India, and Singapore, building production platforms, running security operations, and conducting research for the organisations that keep infrastructure running.

Our DNA is technical excellence and trust, and we hold ourselves to the standard we ask of our customers: our own operations are ISO 27001 certified and independently audited.

Evolution

From offensive audits
to deployed products.

Founded in 2019, we began our journey performing offensive security audits for regulated entities in financial services, power, and energy. Our deep understanding allowed us to demonstrate real-world digital and physical risk from cyber threats.

Through customer demand, we started building real-world defences and responding to critical incidents, and we grew through recommendations. We learned from our day-to-day operations, understood the requirements, and built products to suit the real-world needs of various industries.

Today, we operate products across a number of industries.

AI

AI, understood at
first principles.

We invested early in AI, standing up GPU infrastructure and dedicated AI R&D teams as early as 2022. Today, AI-based systems carry a substantial share of our operational workload.

We understand AI at a first-principles level. We fine-tune, deeply modify, evaluate, and secure a variety of model architectures. We have built security controls for AI systems whose behaviour cannot be fully predicted, deployed under human oversight and with verification of output accuracy.

Capabilities

What we build, break, and defend.

The disciplines we bring to every engagement, from silicon to cloud.

01

Software Engineering

We build and maintain production software to strict design principles, from architecture through long-term operation. Our platforms run at scale, including fleet management across more than 1,500 vessels.

02

Offensive Security

Red teaming, penetration testing, adversary simulation, and original exploit and custom malware development. We have built working proof-of-concept exploits against live infrastructure and published novel attack research.

03

AI and Machine Learning

Custom model development and fine-tuning, agentic application development, and AI security. We run production agentic AI inside regulated environments under human-in-the-loop governance.

04

Cloud

Security architecture and solutioning across every hyperscaler. Multi-region AWS, Azure, and GCP environments, infrastructure-as-code governance, exposure mapping, and cloud-native threat detection.

05

OT and ICS

Operational technology security across power, energy, maritime, railways, and manufacturing. Native fluency in Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, NMEA 2000, and CAN bus.

06

Hardware and Embedded

Custom hardware and firmware development, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and device-level security. We build and operate real shipboard and control-system hardware.

07

Radio and SDR

Software-defined radio expertise and custom radio applications, including passive radar that detects without transmitting and signal classification in contested spectrum.

08

Security Operations

AI-assisted SOC and SOAR: monitoring, alert triage, enrichment, threat hunting, and response. We run production security operations for regulated finance.

09

Incident Response and Forensics

Technical incident response and digital forensics. Containment, root-cause analysis, and recovery for live breaches of systems that process billions in transactions.

10

Financial Crime and AML

Graph-native AML, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring through the Rudra Trace engine, in production in a regulated cross-border payments environment.

11

Research and Disclosure

Original security research and coordinated vulnerability disclosure, including multiple critical CVEs across maritime, railway, and industrial systems reported through CERT-In, NCIIPC, and CSA.

12

Compliance and Governance

Security and compliance built into infrastructure, from IACS E26 and E27 evidence automation to AI governance against NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OWASP LLM and Agentic Top 10.
