Visakhapatnam: Tech Mark Training India, which has launched its operations at the Innovation Valley here to play a key role in digital skilling of students in Andhra Pradesh.

Tech-Mark founder-CEO Satish Babu told Bizz Buzz that they have big plans for Andhra Pradesh following their decision to collaborate with the State Government. It also has skill development partnerships with several other States.

Satish Babu said along with skill development centres in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, they will offer digital skilling and training for the students as well as MSMEs and play a significant role in strengthening the startup ecosystem and innovation landscape.

He said they have a long-standing reputation of working closely with States throughout India supporting and implementing government initiatives, startups and fostering innovation. As a technology enabler, Tech-Mark has served hundreds of clients globally.

In addition, the company is a prominent organiser of the Global Technology, Skill and MSME Expo in India, one of the country’s largest events of its kind. To further promote upskilling and digitalisation, the company is launching a new nationwide initiative in partnership with various States.

As part of its market expansion plan, CYFIRMA, an external threat landscape platform company, funded by Goldman Sachs, Zodius Capital and Z3Partners, recently declared a strategic collaboration with Tech-Mark Training India.

Satish Babu said the partnership aims to deliver CYFIRMA’s core cyber-intelligence and digital risk monitoring platforms to both Central and State Governments in India as well as public sector agencies and Indian businesses.

With the global threat landscape becoming increasingly complex, many governments are fighting cyber-wars with odds stacked against them. In India alone, almost 7 lakh cybersecurity incidents were reported in the first six months of 2022, according to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).

CYFIRMA and Tech-Mark are collaborating to bring an innovative approach to help Indian public sector organisations turn the tide on cybercrime. Instead of relying on conventional cybersecurity strategies and controls, CYFIRMA and Tech-Mark will bring an ‘outside-in’ view where government organisations can see through the hacker’s lens and start using predictive intelligence to mitigate risk. CYFIRMA’s unique approach of uncovering risks and threat indicators at the planning stage, versus the execution and exploitation phase of a cyberattack, allows government organizations to stay ahead of cybercriminals, he said.

“By partnering with CYFIRMA, we will work to empower businesses and government agencies in various States to stay ahead of the curve and protect their assets and reputation,” said Satish Babu.
