BreachX Unifies Zero-Day Intelligence, AI Defense, And Response

How BreachX is Rewriting Cybersecurity with Four-Pillar Zero Day Intelligence, AI-Driven Defense, and Unified Threat Response

An exclusive conversation with Rajshekhar, Founder of BreachX.

In a world where traditional cybersecurity waits for vulnerabilities to be published before acting, BreachX is taking a radically different approach: detecting and neutralizing threats before they become CVEs, before they hit underground forums, and before adversaries even know you’re watching them.

Founded by veterans of India’s National Security Database (NSD), BreachX brings nation-state defense capabilities to enterprises globally. With 85,000+ security researchers and a unified platform correlating attack surface risks, unknown zero-days, red team findings, and live adversary intelligence, BreachX is redefining proactive security.

We sat down with Rajshekhar to understand how his platform delivers zero-day defense through intelligence that feels human and AI that thinks like attackers.

Q. You talk about “Zero Day Intelligence” that operates before vulnerabilities are published. Can you break down what this actually means at BreachX?

Rajshekhar: Most vendors monitor the dark web or scan for known CVEs. That’s incomplete. True zero-day defense requires visibility across four critical dimensions.

At BreachX, our Zero Day Intelligence operates across the Four Pillars of Zero-Day Defense:

• Pillar 1: Known Attack Surface Risks – We map your external attack surface but correlate it with active adversary interest. If a CVE exists but no one’s weaponizing it, it’s lower priority. If exploit code is circulating targeting your sector, it becomes critical immediately.

• Pillar 2: Unknown Zero-Days in Your Technology Stack – Our advanced AI agents don’t wait for vendors to disclose vulnerabilities. They proactively analyze the products, code, and firmware you depend on to discover zero-days before adversaries do - or before they’re publicly known. We’ve uncovered critical vulnerabilities in enterprise software and telecom infrastructure with no CVE, giving clients 60-90 day head starts.

• Pillar 3: Client-Specific Vulnerabilities from Red Teaming – Our researchers from the National Security Database conduct quarterly Live Hacking with elite researchers from the National Security Database, testing your actual environment. Every finding feeds into our AI-Driven Breach and Attack Simulation platform.

• Pillar 4: Pre-Breach, Active-Breach, and Post-Breach Intelligence – This is our flagship. While others monitor dark web forums after damage is done, we operate in the Adversary Web - Telegram channels, private Discord servers, invite-only exploit marketplaces where threat actors discuss your company by name.

We provide Pre-Breach Intelligence detecting adversarial reconnaissance 30-90 days before attacks, Active-Breach Intelligence for real-time containment, and Post-Breach Intelligence for attribution and regulator-ready reports.

When all four pillars feed into one unified platform, you’re operating in adversary time, not compliance time.

Q. Can you share a real example where this approach made a tangible difference?

Rajshekhar: A major Indian power utility had undergone three consecutive years of clean VAPT audits from top-tier firms. But through our Pillar 4 intelligence, we detected pre-breach chatter on a private forum about a specific authentication vulnerability in their infrastructure.

This wasn’t a published CVE. We activated our red team to verify - it was exploitable. They patched within 48 hours. Only 53 records exfiltrated instead of a full-scale breach that would have caused grid disruptions and massive penalties.

The CISO told us: “What you found, no one else ever did.”

That’s the difference between compliance time and adversary time.

Q. How does BreachX One unify all these capabilities?

Rajshekhar: Every CISO faces siloed tools - different dashboards, different alerts, different vendors. When threats emerge, you’re manually stitching context together, wasting the golden window.

BreachX One brings all four intelligence pillars plus our operational capabilities into a single interface:

The Golden Window Dashboard tells you how much time you have to act, what’s at stake (financial impact, regulatory exposure), where to act, and how to act with pre-built response workflows.

AI-Driven BAS generates synthetic zero-day scenarios based on real adversary TTPs we observe, then tests whether your EDR and SIEM can detect them. One Fortune 500 client discovered their $1M+ EDR had a 40% detection gap against novel credential theft techniques. They closed it in 72 hours.

Executive Protection monitors your C-suite’s digital footprint. We detected a fintech CEO being researched by threat actors six weeks before their attack. We hardened his exposure - the attack never landed.

Third-Party Risk Intelligence provides continuous vendor monitoring. One insurance company got alerts when their vendor’s credentials leaked on a dark-web forum 48 hours after the leak - before the vendor even knew.

One-Click Incident Response triggers coordinated takedowns, DFIR activation, and regulator-ready reporting instantly.

Q. What makes your AI-Driven BAS different from other solutions?

Rajshekhar: Most AI in cybersecurity is defensive - analyzing logs, detecting anomalies. We use AI offensively to think like attackers before they act.

We monitor the Adversary Web 24/7, extracting TTPs that threat actors are actively using right now. Our AI generates lab-safe executables mimicking zero-day behavior based on these emerging techniques.

We deploy these synthetic scenarios against your environment to validate what your defenses can actually detect. You see which attacks slip through, detection latency, and specific remediation steps.

Most BAS tools replay known MITRE ATT&CK techniques. We generate novel attack scenarios based on TTPs that aren’t in MITRE yet because adversaries are still developing them.

CISOs tell us: “For the first time, I can show my board exactly which attacks we can stop with real data, not theoretical risk scores.”

Q. The Jaguar Land Rover breach highlighted supply chain risks. How does BreachX address this?

Rajshekhar: The JLR case is the perfect lesson. If JLR had third-party risk monitoring of their vendor ecosystem, they’d have detected those credentials in 2021 - four years before catastrophe.

Our Third-Party Risk Management platform is not checklist based and does continuous monitoring of vendor attack surface and their exposure in dark-web. This provides:

• Real-time alerts when vendor credentials appear in breach databases

• Adversary reconnaissance detection targeting your suppliers

• Human risk intelligence monitoring vendor employee misconduct signals

• Attack surface correlation showing which vendors have privileged access

A large insurance company using our platform got alerts 48 hours after their vendor’s credentials leaked - before the vendor knew. They suspended access immediately. Zero impact.

Q. How does the National Security Database connection differentiate BreachX?

Rajshekhar: BreachX has exclusive access to India’s decade-long national cyber defense initiative.

The NSD network spans 85,000+ vetted researchers operating at six tiers - from Cadets to Scholars - each cleared for increasingly sensitive national security work.

When we deploy quarterly Live Hacking or Bug Bounty Programs for our clients, we’re drawing from researchers who secure India’s power grids, financial systems, and defense networks. They think like nation-state adversaries because they’ve spent years defending against them.

That’s why our intelligence feels human. Behind every alert is a researcher who saw the pattern before it became chaos.
