Himanshu Nautiyal Successfully Disrupting Traditional Security Testing

BreachLock’s COO, Himanshu Nautiyal was featured as a part of CIO View’s Top 10 Most Inspiring Business Leaders Making a Difference in 2022. They published an article articulating Nautiyal’s inclusion in their top 10, Himanshu Nautiyal: Successfully Disrupting Traditional Security Testing, highlighting his role in leading BreachLock’s mission to make cyberspace a safer place by making pen testing easy, scalable, and affordable.

Leading Pen Testing Innovations with Experience

The article opens by addressing Nautiyal’s 20 years of experience as a cybersecurity leader that’s cultivated his extensive industry knowledge throughout his time in various roles. He’s set up new practices, led large security transformation programs, and advised C-suite executives on security strategies at Fortune 100 companies and well-known firms like IBM and Deloitte. Nautiyal is also a prominent cybersecurity speaker on a handful of academic and industry forums who focuses on raising awareness for the importance of cybersecurity.

CIO View explains that part of the reason why BreachLock has been such a success in the Pen Testing as a Service (PTaaS) space and the cybersecurity community is a result of the strong force that Himanshu Nautiyal and Seemant Sehgal, our Founder & CEO, bring to the table when working together. Sehgal and Nautiyal have truly walked miles in our buyers’ and clients’ shoes, which has given them an accurate understanding of the challenges they face and the best ways that BreachLock can help them persevere. The article refers to their strong collaborative capabilities as a “twin-jet engine,” explaining how their multiple decades of experience in cybersecurity set the stage for BreachLock’s ambitious growth goals that they were able to far surpass with the momentum built while working together, obtaining over 100% YoY growth since joining forces.

As CIO View mentioned later in the article, BreachLock is one of the top 5 PTaaS providers, which offers vulnerability management solutions with on-demand, continuous, fast, and scalable pen testing services. The article also mentions that BreachLock is the only full-stack PTaaS provider with coverage of web applications, internal and external networks, mobile applications, APIs, and cloud workloads. BreachLock leverages an innovative human-led, AI-enabled methodology that offers organizations the speed and accuracy required for the modern threat landscape – an area that traditional, manual pen testing approaches have fallen short in historically. Maintaining a strong customer focus to help clients overcome pen testing challenges they’ve faced in the past is what’s helped BreachLock earn industry awards and recognitions like our multi-year mentions in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations in the PTaaS category as a sample vendor.
