Nikhil Mittal
Nikhil is a founding security engineer at Clazar, taking care of all aspects of security from the ground up. He specialises in building security programs for rapidly scaling SaaS companies.
Over the past 8+ years, he has served as a founding and senior engineer across AppSec, Product Security, and Cloud Security, designing secure architectures, hardening cloud environments, and embedding DevSecOps ecosystems that dramatically reduce risk without slowing teams down.
His work has helped companies cut high-risk vulnerabilities by 70–80%, eliminate major OWASP Top 10 classes, pass SOC 2/ISO 27001 audits with zero major findings, and detect misconfigurations before they impact customers.
Before joining Clazar, Nikhil was a principal security engineer at Chargebee, where he covered all aspects of platform security. Prior to Chargebee, he was deeply involved in client-side security research, uncovering and reporting application security issues, earning recognition from major companies like Google, Microsoft, and others.
As a regular security researcher and speaker at conferences like BlackHat, 36C3, and PhDays, Nikhil brings both an offensive mindset and a strong engineering lens to solving modern product and cloud security challenges.
