Meet the Founder

Rad Kawar

Founder & CEO

I've spent my entire career as a red teamer, simulating sophisticated attacks against Fortune 500 companies. After years of easily bypassing traditional security controls and walking past ineffective deception technology, I realized the industry needed a fundamentally different approach.

My experience on the offensive side gives me a unique perspective: I know exactly how skilled adversaries think, operate. This insight drives every decision at DeceptIQ.

I founded DeceptIQ with a simple mission: build technology that would catch me. And in turn, catch the many like-minded adversaries who operate with similar mental models and playbooks.
