The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Jumps Automation LLP, under the C-DOT Collaborative Research Programme (CCRP) for the development of an innovative gamification platform aimed at enhancing cybersecurity awareness across individuals and enterprises.

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, leader boards, learning management system, discussion forums, and realistic simulation-based scenarios covering phishing, social engineering, malware response, and crisis management under time constraints. Through this platform organisations can improve cyber security resilience.

The solution will incorporate a robust reward and performance tracking system along with an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven behavioural analytics engine that continuously evaluates user performance, dynamically adjusts challenge complexity, and keeps content updated with emerging cyber threats. It will be built by combining Jumps Automation’s expertise in AI and automation along with C-DOT’s indigenous telecom and security technology capabilities.

The project will follow a structured development, testing, and acceptance process with end-to-end validation at C-DOT facilities in New Delhi. The platform is expected to be deployed as a commercial-grade SaaS solution with provisions for future enterprise integrations.

The chief executive officer, C-DOT, highlighted 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 recognise 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.

Meanwhile, head of technology, Jumps Automation LLP 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.
