What Infysec does

Infysec (legal entity InfySec Solutions Pvt Ltd) is a privately held Indian cybersecurity services and training organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in Chennai, with additional offices in Bangalore, Kathmandu, Muscat, Colombo, London, and the United States. The company operates across four functional pillars: Security Technology Services (penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, incident response, firewall auditing, patch management, website security, SIEM managed services, red team testing), Security Consulting (compliance, risk management, BCP-DR, vCISO retainer), Security Training (CEH, CHFI, ECSA, LPT, CompTIA, CISSP, CISM, and proprietary CEC/NPA/WAPT courses), and Research & Development. It serves three primary customer segments: enterprise organizations requiring offensive and defensive security services (with named clients including Saudi Aramco, IBM, Nissan, Tata, Akamai, and Airtel), IT professionals seeking certification, and mid-market firms needing fractional CISO support.

The company's core proprietary technology assets are Dowebscan, an all-in-one website vulnerability scanning and penetration testing platform; ISLab, a virtual remote training lab with a gamified 'Live Hacking Zone' for hands-on exercises; and a Capture The Flag competition platform. It also operates an RNG (Random Number Generator) evaluation framework compliant with multiple gaming jurisdictions (Australia, UK, Malta, Gibraltar, and others) for the gaming vertical, plus specialized audit capabilities for IoT, SCADA, mobile, cloud, and connected-car environments. Authorized training partnerships with EC-Council, CompTIA, EXIN, and PECB enable credentialed certification delivery, while reseller agreements with Vembu, Sophos, and Acunetix allow bundling of backup, endpoint, and application security tooling.

The revenue model blends professional services engagements (pentesting, consulting, red team work — primarily project-based and quote-driven), training programs (one-time course fees such as Rs.15,000 for CEC and Rs.18,000 for NPA, plus exam vouchers), recurring/managed revenue streams (vCISO monthly retainer and per-user managed SIEM subscription), event/workshop fees (e.g., Rs.1,000 per CSI workshop participant), and reseller margins on third-party products. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise direct sales for services, inside sales via a CRM portal, self-serve e-learning through academy.infysec.com and a Udemy free-course funnel, plus event-driven demand generation through workshops, hackathons, and student ambassador programs. The firm is bootstrapped, founder-led by Vinod Senthil (Founder, Managing Director & CTO), and has not disclosed any external funding rounds.
