Emphere exists because two people — one who wrote the code, one who filed the ticket — decided that handoff had to stop being someone else’s problem.
The security industry has spent a decade building better scanners. Better dashboards. More alarming backlogs. We know what’s broken. We can quantify it, categorize it, assign it a severity score, and route it to the right team. The tools for finding vulnerabilities are excellent.
But the moment a CVE leaves the security team and lands in an engineering ticket is where the work actually falls apart. Engineers context-switch. Sprint priorities compete. Dependencies conflict. The backlog doesn’t shrink; it compounds. And the gap between “we found it” and “we fixed it” stays measured in weeks.
That gap is where breaches happen. That’s the gap Emphere was built to close.
Pallav and Ankit met as roommates at Northeastern University and spent the next decade working the same problem from opposite ends. Pallav built large-scale systems at CarGurus and Twitter, watching security tickets consume engineering cycles that were never budgeted for them. Ankit spent six years at Uber securing cloud infrastructure across Uber and every company it acquired, opening the tickets Pallav was trying to close, at global scale.
Between them, they’d seen both sides of a handoff the industry had accepted as friction. They founded Emphere in 2025 to eliminate it — not by improving the process, but by automating past it.
A decade in cybersecurity, six years of it at Uber securing cloud infrastructure across Uber and its acquired companies. He’s seen vulnerability management operate at global scale, and seen exactly how much of that work never reaches resolution.
Software engineer who spent his career building large-scale systems at CarGurus and Twitter. He knows intimately what it costs an engineering team to absorb a security backlog: in velocity, in morale, and in the work that never got built.
The moment a CVE requires a human decision is a process failure. Remediation should be automatic, not a queue someone manages.
A patched image is a moment in time. A tracked, verified supply chain is a guarantee that every rebuild stays clean, today and six months from now.
Bring your Dockerfile. Keep your workflow. We map to your stack, not the other way around.
Malicious code doesn’t always have a CVE number. We run SAST analysis and supply-chain integrity checks on every package promotion, every time.
