DECTRAX Verified Company

DECTRAX is a cybersecurity startup based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, founded in 2024 by Md Sadman Shovik (Founder & CEO) and MD Shahriar Ahmed (Co-Founder & COO). The company builds active deception infrastructure for MSSPs and SOC teams who are drowning in false-positive alerts from traditional detection tools.

The founders' thesis comes directly from the field, not a whiteboard. Before building DECTRAX, they responded to national-level cyber incidents alongside BGD e-GOV CIRT — including filing a responsible disclosure after DentiGrid detected exposed SIP credentials at the Bangladesh Water Development Board. That work exposed a core problem in enterprise security: most detection systems generate thousands of alerts a day, and analysts burn out chasing false positives while real intrusions get lost in the noise.

DECTRAX's answer is deception, not detection. Rather than watching for attack signatures, the products lure attackers into interacting with fake assets — credentials, databases, API endpoints — so that every single alert represents a confirmed adversary, not a guess. The company has neutralized over 88,000 attacks and built a proprietary threat intelligence dataset of more than 1 million records, with zero-false-positive validation from BGD e-GOV CIRT.

The current product line has three components:

• DentiGrid — an agentless honeypot deception platform for MSSPs, deployable in under 5 minutes, with native SIEM integration (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Elastic) and firewall EDL export (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco).

• GATE — an open-source, MIT-licensed zero-trust edge reverse proxy that blocks malicious API requests at the network edge before they reach production infrastructure.

• Leaks — a free exposure analysis tool for checking domains against public breach data and leaked credentials.

Pricing is scoped by deployment tier — Pilot, Production, and Enterprise-MSSP — based on node count, subnet coverage, integration needs, and support SLA, rather than a flat subscription.

DECTRAX competes against established deception vendors like Attivo (SentinelOne), Thinkst Canary, and Acalvio, but the team sees customer inertia — not those competitors — as the real obstacle to adoption. The company has been named a Founder Institute finalist and ranked in the F6S Global top 5.
