A different kind
of security firm.
Built for founders who need real answers, not reports.
I'm Shannon Agarwal — a senior security engineer based in Silicon Valley.
I've spent years inside cloud environments finding the vulnerabilities that keep founders and CTOs up at night. I built 808 Security because the firm I wanted to work with didn't exist: one that moves at startup speed, speaks plainly, and doesn't treat security as a box to check.
I'm non-binary and queer, and I bring that same commitment to showing up fully to every engagement. My clients get a senior engineer who is direct, thorough, and genuinely invested in their security — not a junior analyst hiding behind a methodology deck.
808 Security covers AWS, GCP, and Azure. I work with Series A and B companies at the exact moment security starts to matter — before the enterprise deal, before the compliance audit, before the breach.
Our principles
How we work
No junior staff
Every engagement is led by a senior engineer. Your critical security work is never delegated to someone learning on the job.
No tool theater
We tell you what we found, not what our scanner found. Every finding is validated and contextualized by a human.
No padding
Engagements end when the work is done — not when a pre-sold block of hours runs out.
