For journalists

Expert source

Available for comment on identity, AI security, and how AI search is changing who gets found. Everything below is cleared for use without asking first.

On deadline?

Email the press address with your outlet, the question, and your filing time. Breaking news gets a same-day reply. Say whether you need a written statement, a call, or background only, and whether you want the quote attributed.

Time zone is Pacific. If it is faster for you, the LinkedIn inbox reaches the same person.

What I can speak to

Specific angles rather than broad beats, so you can tell in a few seconds whether I am the right call for your story.

Identity and authentication

  • Why credential-stuffing breaches keep succeeding against companies that already deployed MFA
  • Passkeys and passwordless: real enterprise adoption rates versus vendor claims
  • What a CIAM platform actually costs at scale, and where the pricing surprises are
  • Account takeover, session hijacking, and why breach disclosures usually undercount affected accounts

AI security and AI agents

  • Non-human identity: how service accounts and AI agents became the largest ungoverned credential population in most companies
  • What breaks when autonomous agents are given API keys built for humans
  • Model Context Protocol and the authorization gap in agent tooling
  • Prompt injection and data exfiltration in production AI features

AI search and how information gets found

  • How AI Overviews and ChatGPT change who gets traffic, with measured data rather than projections
  • Why publishers see impressions rise while clicks fall, and what the numbers actually show
  • How AI engines choose which sources to cite
  • Generative Engine Optimization: what is measurable and what is currently sold as measurable but is not

Founding and running security companies

  • Building and scaling a CIAM platform past a billion user identities
  • Security and compliance debt in early-stage B2B SaaS
  • SOC 2, PCI, and ISO from the inside: what the certification does and does not prove
  • Vendor consolidation and acquisitions across the identity and GRC markets

What I will decline

Saying this up front saves us both a call.

Original data you can cite

First-party research with the method stated, so the figures can be checked rather than taken on trust. Cite guptadeepak.com. Happy to walk through the methodology on a call.

Why me, specifically

Built and scaled LoginRadius, a customer identity platform, past a billion user identities. The identity opinions here come from operating one, not from analysing the market.

Five granted patents across cybersecurity, identity, applied AI, and cryptography, plus books published with Springer and IGI Global. See publications and patents.

Built SOC 2, PCI, and ISO compliance programs from the inside, which is a different vantage point from auditing them.
