Founder of Ghost Protocol and creator of Wyrm. An AI and cybersecurity company in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Ryan Sebastian is the founder of Ghost Protocol (Private) Limited, an artificial intelligence and cybersecurity company in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and the creator of Wyrm, a local-first memory server for AI coding agents (published on npm as wyrm-mcp and on the official MCP Registry). He is also Head of Product and Founding Partner at Into The Prompt. Ghost Protocol is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program.

He founded Ghost Protocol in 2024 to build AI agents and automation, custom software, and security engineering from Colombo, delivered worldwide. The work spans AI systems and the Wyrm memory layer, penetration testing, and security architecture.

On this blog he writes about what actually happens when you ship and secure real systems: automated penetration testing, the OWASP Top 10, the true cost of a data breach for small businesses, AI memory and the Model Context Protocol, and case studies from building platforms that pay for themselves.

What he writes about

Security

Penetration testing, OWASP Top 10, breach economics, and the defenses small teams can actually afford.

AI systems

Persistent AI memory, the Model Context Protocol, and giving stateless assistants long-term context.

Case studies

Real builds: what worked, what it cost, and the math behind rebuilding versus patching.
