Aman Hardikar Muppidi
Aman has spent more than 20 years in security, much of it working alongside developers. That includes cloud security architecture at Santander UK, work for UK central government, and senior security architecture at Mimecast, where the job was reviewing designs and code with the engineers who wrote them. Before that, Aman was a consultant with IBM Security and NCC Group, testing systems after they were built and finding problems that would have been cheap to fix at design.
Aman started Trusted Path in January 2025 because engineering teams in regulated industries pay twice for security, privacy and resilience: once when they build, and again when a late review sends the work back. The platform moves those checks to planning and design, where the team that ships the work can fix them in the sprint.
Outside work, Aman publishes free security mind maps at amanhardikar.com, and SANS picked one as its official penetration testing poster.
"Most of the late findings I've seen could have been a ten-minute conversation at design. I want that conversation to happen on every project, and I want the team that ships it to own it."
