Krishnendu De, a Cyber Enthusiast and Evangelist at PhalanxCyber, is an accomplished cybersecurity leader with over 25 years of experience across security engineering, threat intelligence, product development, and enterprise security strategy. He is the sole architect and creator behind the Phalanx Cyber platform — a comprehensive portfolio of 54 open-source security repositories on GitHub, spanning every layer of the enterprise stack: Application Security, Cloud Infrastructure, SaaS platforms, ERP Security, Threat Intelligence and Hunting, Network and Security Appliances, and the security of OT/ICS environments and equipment like PLCs, RTUs and FRTUs.
His career spans senior roles across India, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and international markets — building and leading security programs for complex, regulated enterprises. Krishnendu brings a rare intersection of deep technical capability, cyber product vision, and fluent boardroom risk communication — equally at home writing a SAST scanner from first principles, designing a zero-trust architecture, or presenting a risk-quantified business case to a board of directors.
He holds a master's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur — one of Asia's most selective engineering institutions — along with the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) and Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester (OSEP) from OffSec, and CISSP from ISC2, anchoring his practitioner-first approach in validated adversarial expertise.
