Nikhil Mittal

Nikhil is a Senior Staff Security Engineer at FloQast, where he leads security for the company's AI products covering threat modelling, secure design, and safely shipping LLM- and agent-based systems in a regulated environment.

He has spent nearly a decade across application security, cloud-native security, and DevSecOps. Before FloQast, he held founding and principal security roles at Clazar and Chargebee, building security programs from scratch for fast-growing SaaS companies. Earlier, his browser security research earned acknowledgments from Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla.

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 catch misconfigurations before they hit customers.

Nikhil regularly speaks at conferences like BlackHat, 36C3, PhDays, and POC, and brings both an offensive mindset and an engineering lens to product, cloud, and AI security problems.
