Quick Heal Technologies Limited, a leading cybersecurity solutions company, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Bankers Institute of Rural Development (BIRD) in Lucknow to bolster cybersecurity resilience within Rural Financial Institutions (RFIs) in India.

This alliance was formalized via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on January 13, 2025, by Mr. Vishal Salvi, CEO of Quick Heal, and Mr. Nirupam Mehrotra, Director of BIRD Lucknow. This alliance handles the growing cybersecurity exposures encountered by the rural financial sector and fosters a secure digital environment that supports financial inclusion.

Leveraging Quick Heal’s extensive expertise in cybersecurity through Seqrite Labs, this collaboration will implement various initiatives targeting RFIs. Under this partnership, a sophisticated Cybersecurity Lab at BIRD Lucknow is set to be established, specifically aimed at hands-on training and skill enhancement for individuals working in these institutions.

Together, they will develop specialized training modules and organize workshops aimed at promoting best practices in cyber hygiene and fraud prevention. It will also facilitate policy advocacy, conduct cyber drills to assess RFI preparedness against emerging threats and create a knowledge exchange platform to connect experts and stakeholders within the cybersecurity and rural finance sectors.

Mr. Vishal Salvi, CEO of Quick Heal Technologies Limited, shared, “As digital transformation takes root in rural India, it is imperative that we build a strong foundation of cybersecurity to safeguard financial institutions. Although the amounts involved may be relatively small, the impact of a breach is significant. Therefore, our partnership with BIRD represents a pivotal moment in securing rural finance. By combining Quick Heal’s decades of expertise in protecting organizations from cyber threats with BIRD’s deep-rooted understanding of rural finance, we are setting the stage for a more resilient financial system. Through initiatives like research studies, cybersecurity labs, and training programs, we aim to equip RFIs with the necessary tools, strategies, and knowledge to thrive in the digital age, ensuring cybersecurity becomes a fundamental pillar of financial inclusion.”

With Quick Heal’s unparalleled cybersecurity expertise, we will enhance the security frameworks of RFIs and integrate cutting-edge practices into our training and policy development. The Cybersecurity Lab, cyber drills, and specialized training programs are just a few of the key components of this partnership. Together, we are preparing RFIs to face the future with confidence, safeguarding rural communities’ financial interests and contributing to the broader goal of rural development.”
