New Delhi, April 20

The Centre for Development of Telematics on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jumps Automation LLP for the collaborative development of a gamification platform aimed at enhancing cybersecurity awareness across individuals and enterprises in India, according to a release by Ministry of Communications.

The agreement was signed under the C-DOT Collaborative Research Programme (CCRP) in the presence of C-DOT CEO Rajkumar Upadhyay, Rohan Chandak, Head of Technology at Jumps Automation LLP, board members, and other senior officials from C-DOT.

The release said that the key objective of the significant tie-up is to strengthen cybersecurity awareness, to enhance cybersecurity preparedness, to transform conventional training into an engaging, interactive, and effective learning experience. The platform will feature a gaming arena, leaderboards, a learning management system, discussion forums, and realistic simulation-based scenarios covering phishing, social engineering, malware response, and crisis management under time constraints, enabling organisations to strengthen their cybersecurity resilience.

The solution will also incorporate an AI-driven behavioural analytics engine that continuously evaluates user performance, dynamically adjusts challenge complexity, and keeps content updated with emerging cyber threats, alongside a robust reward and performance tracking system.The platform will be built by combining Jumps Automation's expertise in AI and automation with C-DOT's indigenous telecom and security technology capabilities. It is expected to be deployed as a commercial-grade Software-as-a-Service solution with provisions for future enterprise integrations, following a structured development, testing, and acceptance process at C-DOT facilities in New Delhi, the release noted.

Speaking on the occasion, Upadhyay underlined the strategic significance of this collaboration in advancing an engaging and impactful cybersecurity awareness platform, reiterating C-DOT's steadfast commitment to the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. He stated that the platform is envisaged to enable users to effectively recognize and mitigate cyber threats, strengthen incident response capabilities, and adopt global best practices, thereby contributing to a strengthened culture of cybersecurity awareness and resilience in the country.

Chandak highlighted the transformative potential of the platform in making cybersecurity training interactive and impactful, with a focus on driving behavioural change and reducing human-related cyber risks.

C-DOT is the premier telecom research and development centre of the Government of India, engaged in the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge communication technologies to meet the country's strategic and socio-economic needs.

Good step for Aatmanirbhar Bharat. C-DOT partnering with an Indian firm for indigenous tech development is praiseworthy. Hope the pricing is reasonable so that MSMEs can also afford this SaaS platform. Cybersecurity is not just for big corporates.

The AI-driven behavioural analytics part sounds promising. But I hope they focus on real-world, India-specific phishing and social engineering scenarios. The tactics used by scammers here are often very localized (like fake KYC calls, UPI frauds). The training must reflect that.

As someone who works in IT security, I'm cautiously optimistic. We've seen many awareness programs fail because they're boring. Gamification with leaderboards could drive real engagement. My only request: please ensure the platform is accessible and not too heavy for basic office laptops.

This is needed urgently! My father almost fell for a scam call last week pretending to be from his bank. A platform that can teach people of all ages and tech-literacy levels in an interactive way is a fantastic idea. Hope they launch a basic version for the general public too.

Respectfully, while the intent is good, I hope this doesn't become another government project that's strong on paper but weak in execution. The key will be continuous updates to tackle *new* threats. The cyber landscape changes every month. Will the platform keep pace? 🤔
