Quick Heal Technologies Limited, a cybersecurity solutions provider, has signed an agreement with BHASHINI, the government’s multilingual AI platform under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), India. They aim to make cybersecurity and data privacy awareness accessible to millions of Indians in their native/regional languages.
With this agreement, Quick Heal’s enterprise cybersecurity solutions, Seqrite, will use BHASHINI’s advanced language technology. This will allow them to reach users from major cities to villages across the country.
Dr. Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director of Quick Heal Technologies Limited, shared his thoughts, saying, “This partnership is a major change in how we teach people about cybersecurity and data privacy in India. For a long time, language has been a barrier for many Indians in understanding important cybersecurity information. By working with BHASHINI, we want to do more than just translate information; we want to change how cybersecurity education is shared all over our country.”
Amitabh Nag, the Chief Executive Officer of the Digital India BHASHINI Division, said, “Cybersecurity and data privacy are important for everyone, and we need to communicate in ways that include all people. Our partnership with Quick Heal Technologies Limited is creating a new way of talking about cybersecurity and data privacy that uses the language of the people. This ensures that important ideas like safe browsing, phishing, data consent, and protecting personal data are shared in ways that people can understand based on their own culture and language.”
This partnership will use BHASHINI’s advanced language technology, which includes tools for speech recognition, text translation, text-to-speech, and optical character recognition in 22 Indian languages. This will help Seqrite’s solutions provide cybersecurity lessons in multiple languages, send real-time alerts about threats in regional languages, and give localized guidance on how to respond to incidents.
