👋 I’m Rajdeep Walia — a cybersecurity founder, strategist, and builder with 5+ years of hands-on experience protecting digital businesses from the inside out.
My journey began in the trenches — freelancing as a developer and infrastructure consultant 💻, working directly with early-stage teams to help them ship, scale, and stay online. But beneath all the launches and wins, I noticed the same blind spot everywhere:
Speed was prioritized. Security was an afterthought.
That didn’t sit right with me — so I did something about it.
In 2020, I started ‘The Cycrew’ — a raw, early vision to simplify cybersecurity. My goal wasn’t just to plug vulnerabilities, but to rethink how modern companies approach cybersecurity: proactive, intelligent, and founder-friendly. 🛡️
I slowed down active operations to sharpen my edge — moving to the UK to pursue a Post-graduation in Applied Cyber Security in 2021 🎓. There, I deepened my expertise in threat modeling, compliance, AI systems, and security architecture.
In 2023, I returned with a stronger vision and a new name — relaunching as CYCREW 🚀 — a full-service cybersecurity company with global ambitions and zero tolerance for complexity.
💼 What I Lead at CYCREW:
• 🧠 AI-powered threat detection for startups & scaleups — no SOC required
• 📜 Simplified compliance across ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and India’s DPDP
• 🤖 Real-time analysis through CYBR-X & CYRO AI — our proprietary platforms
• 🌍 A mission to protect digital growth - starting locally, scaling globally.
⚡ What I Stand For:
• Security that drives growth — not fear
• Founder-first thinking — always
• Clarity over complexity
• Trust built into every layer
If you’re building something ambitious or believe security should be a strength — not a stressor in your business — let’s talk.
