Quick Heal Foundation Launches Cyber Shikshit Gaon Initiative at Arjuni

 

Quick Heal Foundation, the CSR arm of Quick Heal Technologies, a provider of cybersecurity solutions, has launched its Cyber Shikshit Gaon initiative in Arjuni Village, Kolhapur, with the aim of making it a cyber-safe village. As part of Quick Heal Foundation’s flagship Cyber Shiksha, Cyber Suraksha programme, the initiative takes a community-wide approach to cybersecurity, bringing together structured awareness sessions, household outreach and hands-on digital security interventions to equip residents with the knowledge and confidence to prevent, identify and report cyber threats.

As digital access expands, awareness of online risks has not kept pace. People may unknowingly expose personal information through third-party applications, unknown platforms, excessive app permissions and unverified links. Such exposure can put not only an individual at risk, but also family members, friends and business contacts connected through their device. Built on three core pillars - Prevention, Protection and Reporting - the Cyber Shikshit Gaon initiative goes beyond conventional awareness to deliver hands-on digital protection and establish a sustainable village-level response ecosystem.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month - Comments

 

On the occasion of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, several industry leaders have given their comments.

Following are the thoughts they have expressed - 

“This year's Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, Stay Safe Online, is often read as a consumer message, but enterprises can't afford to treat it that way. As AI agents take on more of the day-to-day work inside organisations, from processing documents to executing transactions, every one of those agents needs the same basic hygiene we ask of employees: strong identity controls, least-privilege access and continuous monitoring of what they're allowed to do. Attackers rarely need to break through a firewall if they can walk in through an unmonitored agent or a reused credential. The organisations that stay resilient won't necessarily be the ones with the newest security tools, they'll be the ones that got the fundamentals right for both their people and their AI systems. At Fulcrum Digital, we build that discipline into how we design AI systems from day one, because prevention is still far cheaper than recovery." Contd
