In the realm of cybersecurity, the companies that have survived the test of time have typically been built on hard-earned experience and a deep understanding of the cost of cyber vulnerabilities. SRC Cyber Solutions LLP (SRC) is no exception. It is this very experience that has become the driving force behind the company’s vision to help organizations build intelligent, resilient, and future-ready cybersecurity strategies. What began as a vision has evolved into a respected cybersecurity company that serves different companies all over India and around the world.
The foundation of the company was laid in 2019 by Rohit Khandelwal, Founder & Partner, with the belief that businesses need more than a collection of disconnected cybersecurity solutions; they require a holistic, risk-driven security approach aligned with their business objectives. With this ideology at its core, the company has gradually evolved from being a trusted cybersecurity solution provider to becoming a strategic technology partner for enterprises.
While many organizations have focused on rapid growth through conventional sales-driven strategies, SRC built its reputation through technical expertise, strong global technology partnerships, and a customer-centric approach. This strategy has enabled the company to earn the trust of leading enterprises, collaborate with some of the world’s most innovative cybersecurity companies, and successfully deliver complex cybersecurity implementations in APAC, Africa, and the Middle East.
This exclusive conversation features Rohit Khandelwal, Founder & Partner of SRC Cyber Solutions LLP, sharing the inspiration behind founding the company, the principles that have shaped its growth, and his vision for positioning Indian cybersecurity expertise on the global stage.
Read on to discover how SRC Cyber Solutions LLP is redefining cyber resilience through innovation, trusted partnerships, and a relentless commitment to enterprise security.
Born From a Moment of Crisis
SRC was not born from theory alone; it was born from a moment of real-world crisis that changed how its founder thought about the industry. Rohit recalls watching an organization struggle to contain a phishing-led breach that spread far faster than anyone had anticipated, simply because basic defenses around email, endpoints, cloud, and network visibility were missing. “The operational and reputational damage that a single avoidable gap can cause is enormous,” he says. That incident convinced him that cybersecurity was not merely an area of interest but a mission worth building an entire company around.
That conviction shaped SRC’s founding premise: “Indian enterprises do not need another vendor selling isolated tools. They needed a partner who understands how Indian businesses operate and can integrate the right global technologies into one cohesive line of defense,” he says. He founded SRC in 2019 with a mandate to architect real protection around each client’s genuine risk profile rather than simply selling generic products off the shelf.
A Vision Built on Automation and Accessibility
From its earliest days, SRC pursued a clear vision: bringing next-generation automated technologies to Indian enterprises, with tools capable of addressing both current and future threats while delivering high levels of automation. “We designed this approach specifically to help organizations overcome the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, reduce human error, and adopt systems that are stay simple to implement and manage,” he explains, describing the philosophy that continues to guide the company’s product choices today.
Scaling Through Partnerships
Scaling that vision across the country presented its own challenges. Superior technology alone could not drive growth; the company also needed patience and strong, long-term relationships. Over time, SRC built trusted ties with the Big Four cybersecurity consulting firms and cultivated a channel ecosystem that includes System Integrators (SIs), Global System Integrators (GSIs), and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).
These partnerships, combined with a strong and growing client base, have enabled SRC to expand its footprint across every region of India, and the company continues to expand into newer markets today. “Strong partnerships remain the foundation of our growth strategy,” Rohit notes, a strategy built patiently over the years rather than through aggressive sales pushes or short-term discounting.
Milestones That Defined the Journey
Several milestones have marked SRC’s journey so far. The company transformed itself into an authorized distributor and service provider for some of the most respected names in global cybersecurity, including IRONSCALES, Sepio, Zero Networks, Riscosity, Uptycs, and SentinelOne. That shift proved pivotal as it enabled SRC offer clients genuine end-to-end cybersecurity coverage spanning email security, hardware and asset visibility, data protection, network micro-segmentation, cloud-native security, and endpoint detection and response, all delivered under a single roof.
The company’s founding year, 2019, also brought its first major enterprise mandate: securing the email environment of a large Indian financial services group. That early win gave SRC both a credible reference point and the confidence to scale further. More recently, the company has extended its work beyond Indian borders, taking on enterprise deployments for global clients across the APAC, Africa, and Middle East regions, a development Rohit calls meaningful validation of the trust SRC has earned.
The Six-Platform Defense Ecosystem
At the heart of SRC’s offering sits a deliberately assembled ecosystem of six specialized technology partners, each addressing a distinct layer of enterprise risk rather than relying on any single point solution to cover every gap.
IRONSCALES: Copmrehensive Email Security
SRC began with IRONSCALES for email security. The platform applies an AI-driven approach that analyses email behavior, intent, and anomalies in real time to catch phishing, business email compromise, and account takeover attempts that slip past conventional filters.
IRONSCALES also draws on human intelligence through employee reporting and awareness features, and its automated remediation tools quarantine malicious emails from users’ inboxes across an organization within seconds. Over six years of deployment, the platform has recorded zero bypasses or unresolved tickets, and every SRC customer using it remains referenceable.
Sepio: Hardware and Asset Visibility
As clients gained control over email threats, SRC turned its attention to visibility across every connected device, which led to a partnership with Sepio. Sepio discovers, identifies, and validates every asset across IT, OT, IoT, IIoT, and IoMT environments, including unknown or unmanaged devices, without relying on traffic inspection, network taps, or physical sensors.
Its Layer 1-based device intelligence establishes the true identity and risk posture of connected hardware, enabling organizations to detect rogue devices, hardware implants, and unauthorized peripherals that traditional traffic-based tools routinely miss. Sepio maintains a continuous hardware asset inventory and generates risk scores that support Zero Trust hardware access policies, and is trusted by Fortune 50 companies, critical infrastructure operators, and government agencies worldwide already rely on it.
Riscosity: Governing Data in Motion
As enterprises accelerated digital transformation and began sharing growing volumes of data with third parties and AI platforms, SRC added Riscosity to protect data in motion. Riscosity uses a zero-agent architecture to discover data flows automatically, classify sensitive information in real time, and validate governance requirements such as data-processing agreements, contractual obligations, and data-residency rules. The platform detects unauthorized transfers, shadow AI usage, and policy violations, and its built-in AI firewall can block, redact, or redirect sensitive data before it reaches unapproved destinations.
Zero Networks: Stopping Lateral Movement
To stop attackers from moving laterally once they breach a network, SRC brought in Zero Networks. The platform verifies every connection and applies identity-based micro-segmentation, containing a breach before it can spread across an organization. Automated policy creation and adaptive enforcement remove years of manual configuration work, helping enterprises preserve uptime, revenue, and client trust even after an initial compromise has occured.
Uptycs: Securing the Cloud
As cloud adoption became central to enterprise IT strategy, SRC introduced Uptycs to secure cloud infrastructure, workloads, and applications from a single platform. Uptycs combines cloud security posture management with runtime protection, correlating live telemetry across containers, Kubernetes, virtual machines, and cloud services to detect misconfigurations and active threats. Organizations including Nutanix, SAP, and IBM already trust the platform, and its built-in AI analyst, Juno, investigates findings with fully verifiable reasoning, freeing security teams to work far more efficiently.
SentinelOne: Endpoint Protection and Response
Finally, SRC rounds out its stack with SentinelOne, which delivers AI-powered, autonomous endpoint protection, detection, response, and remediation capabilities. Together, these six technologies let SRC offer enterprises an integrated strategy that protects email, endpoints, networks, cloud environments, hardware assets, and sensitive data simultaneously, while automation enables security teams operate with far greater efficiency.
Leadership Principles: Transparency, Depth, and Patience
SRC’s culture rests on three principles that Rohit cites repeatedly: transparency, technical depth, and long-term thinking. “Cybersecurity is not a sector where you can afford to oversell or cut corners; trust, once broken, is very hard to rebuild,” he says, adding that every recommendation the company makes is grounded in each client’s specific needs.
SRC’s leadership also stays closely engaged with the underlying technology, believing that a team disconnected from the finer technical details cannot make sound decisions once real pressure mounts. Above all, the company measures client relationships in years rather than by individual deals, a mindset reflected in the partnerships it has sustained with global global technology partners and enterprise clients alike.
Earning Trust in a Global Market
Building credibility as an Indian cybersecurity partner capable of servicing complex, multi-platform, global deployments ranked among SRC’s toughest early challenges. Competing for enterprise trust against larger, more established international players required going deep rather than wide: the company invested in genuine platform expertise and built its own integrations, dashboards, and automated workflows rather than simply reselling products.
One prospective enterprise client nearly walked away early on, doubting that an Indian partner could support a complex deployment at their scale. Rather than compete on price, SRC invested several weeks in building a live proof of concept directly within the client’s environment, complete with working integrations and dashboards. The company won the mandate purely through its demonstrated capability, an approach that has since opened doors to further deployments requiring deep, hard-earned technical trust.
Staying Ahead of an Evolving Threat Landscape
Staying ahead of a fast-shifting threat landscape means treating platform partnerships as living relationships rather than static integrations, according to Rohit. SRC continuously works with IRONSCALES, Sepio, Zero Networks, Riscosity, Uptycs, and SentinelOne to stay updated on new capabilities across behavioral email detection, hardware visibility, data-in-motion governance, and cloud-native protection. The company also pays close attention to real-world alerts and incidents from its own client base, arguing that these ground-level signals reveal emerging risk patterns more reliably than any industry report.
Innovation in Service of Trust
SRC treats innovation and trust as reinforcing forces rather than competing priorities. Every new capability the company introduces, whether it is an automated detection workflow or a new technology offering, only creates value when clients understand and rely on it confidently.
That belief drives SRC’s heavy investment in client enablement through clear dashboards, straightforward reporting, and responsive training and support. It also explains why referrals and expanded engagements with existing clients, rather than new customer acquisition alone, drive much of SRC’s growth, as reliability compounds trust over time.
The Road Ahead: Global Expansion
Looking ahead, SRC intends to deepen its market penetration and accelerate its international expansion. The company is already executing enterprise deployments for global clients across APAC, Africa, and the Middle East, and it sees a significant opportunity to extend its end-to-end, multi-platform model through an expanded network of channel partners across those territories.
Over the next three to five years, SRC plans to establish a permanent presence across those regions, add one or two complementary platforms in emerging areas of cybersecurity, and substantially grow its technical delivery team to support expansion.
A Broader Vision for Cyber Resilience
Beyond growth metrics, Rohit frames the company’s ambition in broader terms. “I want SRC to be known as a company that has helped raise the bar of cyber resilience for Indian and global enterprises alike, not just by deploying tools, but by building genuine security maturity into how organizations operate,” he says. He also hopes SRC’s expansion abroad will demonstrate that Indian cybersecurity expertise can compete confidently on a global stage, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world’s most established security providers rather than trailing behind them.
SRC Cyber Solutions LLP’s journey, from a company built to close an avoidable gap to a multi-platform cybersecurity powerhouse serving enterprises across three continents, illustrates a broader truth about the industry: Real protection comes not from any single product, but from the discipline, partnerships, and long-term thinking required to make many technologies work as one.
Under Rohit’s continued stewardship, SRC has turned that philosophy into a proven and repeatable model, and its next chapter, spanning new geographies, new technology platforms, and a larger technical delivery team, appears poised to demonstrate just how far that model can go.
