IIT-M Pravartak is extremely thrilled to collaborate with a specialist Indian player like WhizHack that is building original security products and training programs. Our ‘Made in India’ Shakti chip would be leveraged as a building block to build sustainable and cost effective security solutions for critical OT and IT infrastructure that are completely built, serviced and maintained in India,” said MJ Shankar Raman, chief executive officer, IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation.
According to a 2022 Gartner study, cyber-attacks on organizations in critical infrastructure sectors rose by 3900% between 2013 and 2020. Gartner security and risk leaders ranked the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems as their top concerns for the next three to five years.
“Advanced state sponsored Cyberattacks are thwarting India’s push to digitization and its global accent. WhizHack, as India’s only vertically integrated cyber security organisation, has built and deployed its ‘Made in India’ cyber threat detection and remediation system to defend critical infrastructure including defence, telecom, power and enterprises,” Kallol Sil, dofounder and CEO, WhizHack Technologies said. “We also want to empower employees of major institutions through training on the latest cyber defense techniques, ultimately creating an Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
