Abhay Bhargav builds security infrastructure for fast-moving engineering teams so they can ship secure software without slowing down.

He is the Founder and Chief Research Officer at we45, a security engineering company providing Threat Modeling as a Service (TMaaS) and helping organizations embed security into modern cloud-native development pipelines. Through AppSecEngineer, his hands-on training platform, and SecurityReview.ai, his AI-powered secure design review tool, Abhay distills years of real-world experience into practical tools teams can use to run expert-level security reviews and build threat models without manual bottlenecks.

‍

Abhay has trained teams at BlackHat, OWASP, and RSA Conference, and his threat modeling research has been showcased at the Pentagon by the US Department of Defense. He is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council, the author of two international books (Secure Java and PCI Compliance: A Definitive Guide), and is frequently cited in industry publications.

‍

Today, Abhay helps teams build security directly into modern development and deployment pipelines by combining practical DevSecOps, scalable threat modeling, and secure AI adoption without slowing delivery. He writes and speaks about building security tools developers actually want to use, and about threat modeling for modern architectures.

He believes the future of security depends on building infrastructure that makes secure design the easiest option, not just enforcing policies that slow teams down.
