About me
Deepak Rodricks is an AI engineer, cybersecurity researcher, technology professional, and founder of Breach Guardians, focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems. He holds a Master of Engineering in AI Engineering of Autonomous Systems from Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), where his research focused on adversarial robustness in deep reinforcement learning. His thesis investigated adversarial attacks and defenses across Gymnasium environments, including FGSM and JSMA attacks, adversarial training, autoencoder-based defenses, and neural-network-based detection. He also holds a PGDM in Business Analytics from Goa Institute of Management and a B.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from NIT Goa. Deepak began his technology career at IBM, working on mainframe applications for a US logistics client using COBOL, JCL, SQL, CICS, and DB2. He later worked at Cognizant in business analysis and technology consulting roles, contributing to enterprise analytics, financial systems, digital transformation, executive reporting, process automation, and large-scale BI migrations. As the founder of Breach Guardians, Deepak is building an AI-driven cybersecurity ecosystem focused on practical security solutions and education. His work includes Sentinel AI, Human Firewall Lab, Breach Guardians Academy, Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges, and SecurityFix, an AI-assisted security remediation project. He also participates in cybersecurity CTFs and bug-bounty programs and has conducted responsible vulnerability research. His interests include adversarial AI, AI security, threat detection, vulnerability management, cybersecurity automation, autonomous systems, and trustworthy AI. He aims to bridge academic research and practical cybersecurity engineering while developing scalable technologies that make digital systems more secure and resilient.

Breach Guardians SecurityFix
Breach Guardians SecurityFix is an AI-assisted cybersecurity workflow that helps developers move from vulnerability discovery to tested and validated remediation. The problem is that identifying a security vulnerability is only the beginning. Developers must understand the root cause, implement an appropriate fix, create regression tests, and verify that the remediation has not introduced new security issues. This feedback loop can be difficult for small teams and startups to perform consistently. We built an intentionally vulnerable local Flask application and used IBM Bob as an AI security-development assistant. Bob performed a read-only security audit and identified four findings: SQL Injection (CWE-89), Broken Access Control (CWE-862), Insecure Configuration Exposure, and a spoofable identity header. Bob was then used to implement targeted fixes while keeping the scope restricted to the demo application. The remediation introduced parameterized SQL queries, signed-session identity, ownership-based authorization, removal of configuration exposure, and elimination of the spoofable identity mechanism. The workflow also produced a security regression suite covering injection attempts, authorization bypasses, identity spoofing, configuration exposure, session behavior, and legitimate functionality. The final suite contains 25 tests, all of which pass. A second read-only Bob audit was performed after remediation. It confirmed that all four original findings were resolved and identified no new confirmed vulnerabilities. SecurityFix demonstrates a repeatable security loop: Discover → Analyze → Fix → Test → Re-audit Target users include developers, startups, security teams, and application security practitioners who want to integrate practical security remediation into their development workflow. The Git history preserves the vulnerable baseline and remediation commit, providing an auditable before-and-after record.

Sentinel AI: Domain Security Intelligence Platform
Sentinel AI by Breach Guardians is a comprehensive domain security intelligence platform designed to help organizations monitor, analyze, and secure their online presence from a single, unified dashboard. The platform consolidates data from seven powerful security sources, including DNS records, WHOIS information, Certificate Transparency logs, VirusTotal threat intelligence, Shodan network scanning, CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, and the National Vulnerability Database, delivering comprehensive risk reports in under sixty seconds. Users can add any domain with a single click, configure automated scans on daily, weekly, or manual schedules, and receive severity-coded findings with clear recommendations for remediation. The intuitive dashboard provides color-coded alerts, green for safe, yellow for warnings, and red for critical issues requiring immediate attention. Sentinel AI also supports team collaboration through member invitations and role assignments, while the settings panel allows integration of personal API keys for enhanced rate limits. With real-time notifications, upcoming data retention controls, and billing management features, Sentinel AI by Breach Guardians empowers businesses of all sizes to proactively protect their digital assets and stay ahead of emerging cybersecurity threats.
