​

In a world where threats are evolving as quickly as the technology around us, Vikas Sharma stands as a formidable force in both physical and digital security. As the CEO and founder of EliteDefenders Innovations LLC and Imperium Protection Group, Vikas brings a wealth of experience and innovation to the field of protective services, setting new standards by utilizing the latest technology for protecting their clients. An active law enforcement agent, Vikas has spent years cultivating an unparalleled skill set, earning him a reputation as a leading expert in advanced technologies and protection.

​

Vikas’s career is a masterclass in versatility and expertise. Licensed for armed and unarmed security services in Arizona and California, he is a federal and state certified law enforcement instructor in firearms, active shooter response, and emergency tactical driving. His technical prowess adds an extra layer of credibility to his impressive resume, which is fortified by over two decades of experience in law enforcement and technology. Yet, his background extends far beyond conventional security—Vikas has spent over 20 years advancing the fields of transportation technology, robotics, and self-driving vehicles, cementing his position as a pioneer in merging technology with physical protection.

​

EliteDefenders Innovations LLC, founded in early 2024, reflects Vikas’s visionary approach of using Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity to close the gap between physical and digital protection of high-risk clients. With operations in Arizona and Alaska, the company specializes in delivering elite-level executive protection, sophisticated cybersecurity solutions, and comprehensive risk management strategies for a diverse clientele. EliteDefenders is not just a security firm; it is a fusion of cutting-edge defense mechanisms and proactive digital safety strategies. The team’s expertise spans high-threat protection for dignitaries, politicians, celebrities, and high-net-worth individuals, as well as risk mitigation for corporations and organizations. Their clients include some of the largest corporations in a variety of sectors, where EliteDefenders’ team diffused hostile situations with precision and tact.

​

Vikas’s forward-thinking mindset led to the invention of the *CryptX Ring*, a revolutionary wearable cybersecurity product that serves as an “Iron Dome” for their high-net-worth clients. Leveraging Department of Defense technology, the CryptX Ring safeguards individuals crossing international borders by thwarting cyberattacks aimed at personal data acquisition. This pioneering creation exemplifies Vikas’s ability to anticipate and counter emerging threats in an increasingly digital world.

​

Imperium Protection Group, headquartered in California, shares the same dedication to holistic security as EliteDefenders. Vikas’s approach with Imperium focuses on safety concerns that are unique to California, recognizing that true security requires addressing a person’s entire threat profile. The firm’s services encompass background analyses, identifying and rectifying data leaks, and providing continuous threat monitoring to protect clients from a wide range of vulnerabilities.

​

Vikas’s academic credentials are equally impressive. He holds an MS in engineering from Penn State, where he achieved the fastest completion in the program’s history, and a management certification from Yale University. His multifaceted expertise, combined with his status as a peace officer by CA POST, underscores his comprehensive grasp of technology, security, and protection.

​

Through EliteDefenders and Imperium Protection Group, Vikas Sharma is not merely responding to threats—he’s reimagining what it means to be safe with ever expanding and vulnerable digital footprint. His relentless commitment to excellence and his groundbreaking innovations have made him a trusted protector of high-profile clients and their assets.
