Forward Deployment
We build it, secure it, and ship it with you.
From AI/ML startups shipping their first secure alpha to governments running critical infrastructure — we scope to the real risk, build and harden hands-on, and operate at machine speed. Start small, or partner long-term.
Forward deployment means our engineers embed with your team to build, secure, and ship — then hand it over. It's how our products get delivered in the field, not a separate consulting business.
Forward Deployment · For startups
Ship secure AI/ML alphas, fast.
Struggling to integrate AI/ML into your product? Our team forward-deploys with you — building, securing, and shipping alphas fast — so you get real use-case feedback from your customers and prospects hands-on, not just on slides or your website.
- Build the AI/ML feature into a working alpha
- Secure it by design — no new attack surface
- Ship to real users in weeks, not quarters
- Real hands-on feedback, not slideware
For government & enterprise
Long-term resilience partnerships.
Engagements are scoped to the work — not sold per seat or per license. Most start with a fixed-scope assessment, then grow into an ongoing partnership.
Resilience Assessment
A scoped, fixed-duration diagnostic. We map the attack surface, review posture, and analyse compliance gaps — delivered as a prioritised, audit-ready picture of where you stand.
- Attack-surface mapping
- Security posture review
- Compliance-gap analysis
- Prioritised, audit-ready findings
Resilience Engagement
Hands-on hardening, plus standing up AI-native security operations: continuous assessment, drift and threat detection, and governed remediation. An ongoing partnership, not a one-off report.
- Hands-on infrastructure hardening
- AI-native security operations
- Continuous assessment & drift detection
- Governed, reviewable remediation
Public Sector / Managed
A long-term partnership for government and critical infrastructure: sovereign deployment, standards alignment, and a research-led approach built alongside CySecK and IISc.
- Sovereign deployment (on-prem / VPC)
- CERT-In, RBI, NIST & CIS alignment
- Research-led with CySecK & IISc
- Dedicated security partner
Every engagement
What every engagement includes.
AI-native assessment
Continuous, AI-driven view of your estate — attack surface, misconfiguration, and drift — kept current, not captured once.
Governed remediation
Findings turned into safe, reviewable change. Security enforced as an input, with humans in command of every action.
Compliance mapping
Posture mapped continuously to CERT-In, RBI, NIST and CIS — so audits become a status check, not a scramble.
Sovereign deployment
On-prem and in-VPC by default, least-privilege throughout, and no customer data leaving your environment.
Dedicated security partner
A team that knows your estate, guided by CySecK and IISc — research-led, not a ticket queue.
“Robotics infrastructure spans edge and cloud, and the stakes are real. Bugz became the resilience partner we needed — hardening our estate and standing up security operations that run at machine speed. It's exactly what Industry 5.0 demands.”

Frequently asked questions
- How does an engagement start?
- Usually with a scoped Resilience Assessment — a fixed-duration diagnostic that maps your attack surface and compliance gaps. From there, a Resilience Engagement hardens the highest-risk surfaces and stands up AI-native security operations. We aim to deliver tangible value in weeks, not quarters.
- Who do you work with?
- Startups building ML/AI products use our security products — and forward-deploy with us — to ship features fast without opening new attack surface. We also run cyber resilience for Karnataka’s state government and its digital public infrastructure, guided by CySecK and IISc, and partner with enterprises and critical-infrastructure operators that need an AI-native approach to security.
- Is our data safe with you?
- Yes. We support on-prem and in-VPC deployment, follow zero-trust by default, and never train models on customer data. The security of your environment is the product, not a side effect — nothing leaves your estate without your governance.
- Are you a services agency or a product company?
- A product company. Bugz IaC Agent is our core product, alongside security products for API and OT/ICS. We also forward-deploy — our team builds and ships it with you — which is how we delivered the Karnataka cyber-resilience platform. Engagements harden the products, and the products make engagements repeatable.
- Can you deploy sovereignly for government?
- Yes. Our Public Sector / Managed engagements are built for sovereign deployment — on-prem or in your VPC — and aligned to CERT-In, RBI, NIST and CIS. The approach is research-led, developed alongside CySecK and IISc.
