Driving a bold strategic shift toward preemptive, AI Validation and securing AI models and applications

Securin, a leading provider of AI-based Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solutions, today announced the appointment of Dr. Srinivas (Sri) Mukkamala as Chief Executive Officer. This leadership change marks a significant strategic shift for the company, placing AI-driven cybersecurity, with a focus on Automated Penetration Testing and AI Red Teaming, at the center of its innovation roadmap.

A strategic, innovative thinker, Dr. Mukkamala is a global leader in AI-driven cybersecurity. He founded RiskSense, acquired by Ivanti in 2021, where he revolutionized risk-based security solutions, delivering solutions to 88 Fortune 100 firms. As Chief Scientist on the Department of Defense’s Computational Analysis of Cyber Terrorism against the US (CACTUS) project, he analyzed cyber threats with a focus on exploit feasibility, laying the groundwork for Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) to empirically validate attack scenarios. Mukkamala scaled RiskSense as its CEO and later served as Ivanti’s Chief Product Officer, driving product innovation. His appointment reflects Securin’s commitment to advancing AEV, securing AI workloads, modern infrastructure, including software, and cloud through proactive, AI-driven approaches.

“Cybersecurity must evolve as fast as attackers do, and AI is key to staying ahead,” said Mukkamala. “Securin’s expertise in Adversarial Exposure Validation, powered by Automated Penetration Testing and AI Red Teaming, positions us to deliver unmatched threat visibility and resilience. I look forward to guiding the team as we build solutions that unify enterprise security, deliver attacker-focused threat perspectives, and use AI to make threat detection, validation, and response more precise and scalable.”

Under Mukkamala’s leadership, Securin emphasizes three strategic priorities:

• Comprehensive AI security through AEV, leveraging Automated Penetration Testing and AI Red Teaming to validate AI models and workloads, ensuring organizations can securely adopt and scale AI without introducing new risks.
• Unified enterprise protection, using AI-driven insights, continuous penetration testing, and red team simulations to streamline security across fragmented cloud and software environments.
• Smarter threat visibility and prioritization, combining attacker behavior modeling, AI-enhanced exploit validation, and in-house threat intelligence to deliver precise, actionable security operations.

Securin’s AEV platform is designed to proactively identify and neutralize threats that traditional tools often miss. Unlike conventional approaches reliant on siloed tools or outdated prioritization models like CVSS, Securin’s platform dynamically assesses vulnerability combinations, simulates real-world attack scenarios, and validates exploitability through AI-driven red team exercises. By integrating continuously updated threat intelligence from its internal research team, Securin ensures organizations can anticipate and mitigate risks across complex, modern environments.

“Sri’s unwavering product-first mindset, coupled with his deep expertise in AI security, uniquely positions him to lead Securin in realizing its bold vision. His leadership is exactly what the company needs at this pivotal moment,” said Rohini Kasturi, CEO, HG Insights & Board Member, Securin.

This transition reaffirms Securin’s commitment to proactive cybersecurity, helping organizations stay ahead of evolving threats through intelligent, AI-driven solutions. Mukkamala’s appointment positions the company to expand its AEV platform capabilities, meet the demands of the current and future threat landscape, and deliver security that is both precise and actionable.
