United States based cybersecurity company Deepwatch has launched its new Global Capability Centre in Bengaluru on 19 November. The centre will focus on artificial intelligence, engineering and innovation to strengthen the company’s managed detection and response services.
Deepwatch had no employees in India at the end of 2024. It now has fifty employees and plans to increase this number to one hundred within the next year. This marks a complete doubling of its workforce in the country.
Chief Executive Officer John DiLullo said in an interview with a common media outlet that the expansion reflects the company’s goal to scale its AI driven cybersecurity capabilities. He said, “We were struggling to find enough high quality AI engineering talent in the US, and India offers an unmatched pool in cloud, cyber, and AI. This is our AI hub and the foundation for developing the next generation of cybersecurity solutions.”
The Bengaluru centre has been set up to accelerate platform innovation and improve development speed. It is designed to operate as a core part of Deepwatch’s product and customer operations and not only as an engineering site.
The centre will focus on building agentic AI systems. These are autonomous AI agents that improve cybersecurity workflows by automating tasks such as threat detection, investigation and response. Two of the company’s six newly announced AI agents were developed by the Bengaluru team and more releases are expected by early 2026.
Deepwatch also sets itself apart with its Bring Your Own Technology model. Unlike some competitors that require customers to use their own tools, Deepwatch works with existing cybersecurity stacks. This vendor neutral model allows clients to unify data from different security systems for faster and more accurate responses.
DiLullo said, “We work with almost all major cybersecurity products. Our abstraction layer allows us to normalise and enrich data from firewalls, endpoints, and identity systems, giving customers unmatched flexibility.”
Chief Product Officer Anand Ramanathan said that ninety two percent of Deepwatch’s investment in India is directed towards research and development and product innovation. This includes engineering, cloud operations, site reliability and product management roles.
With the new centre, Deepwatch aims to position India as a global hub for AI powered cybersecurity innovation and strengthen its strategy of combining talent with advanced threat defence technologies.
