Deepak Rathore is a blockchain and AI security leader with over 16 years of experience securing financial systems, decentralized networks, and emerging AI-driven architectures. He currently leads product security initiatives for a Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem, where he works at the intersection of cryptography, autonomous systems, and secure transaction infrastructure.

Deepak specializes in AI-powered fintech architectures, focusing on how large language models, agentic systems, and autonomous workflows interact with wallets, payment APIs, MPC/TSS signing systems, and on-chain settlement layers. His recent work explores the security implications of AI agents initiating real financial transactions—designing guardrails for intent validation, policy enforcement engines, transaction risk scoring, and cryptographic containment mechanisms for autonomous money movement.

Beyond traditional blockchain security, Deepak actively builds and experiments with:
- AI-driven SAST and DAST security automation pipelines
- Local and cloud-hosted LLM deployments for secure code review
- AI-powered threat modeling frameworks
- Agentic workflows that simulate autonomous financial decision systems
- LLM-based red teaming for smart contracts and Web3 infrastructure
- AI-augmented DevSecOps pipelines

He has architected AI-integrated security systems that combine structured intent validation, cryptographic controls (MPC/TSS), and blockchain safety patterns to prevent AI-triggered financial abuse. His work bridges AI alignment concerns with real-world financial security constraints—where hallucinations can translate into irreversible transactions.

Deepak is also an active researcher in:
- Secure AI-to-wallet trust boundaries
- Autonomous transaction risk modeling
- Cryptographic isolation layers for AI agents
- Prompt-level exploit analysis in financial systems
- Cross-layer attacks between AI inference pipelines and blockchain execution

He is a multi-CVE reporter, Microsoft Hall of Fame honoree, and an offensive security practitioner with deep expertise in DeFi, custody platforms, exchanges, and protocol-level security.

Deepak frequently speaks on AI security, blockchain resilience, and agentic fintech architecture. His mission is to ensure that as AI begins to move real money, security architectures evolve faster than attackers.
