iExplore Foundation - Cyber Champions

Preamble

Being in a digitally connected world where everything is on the Internet, one of the most difficult tasks for the governments, organisations and individuals have become assuring the safety of our data. Malware attacks and phishing are rising every moment attacking individuals as well as organisations. India’s cyberspace is increasing in size and variety every day that India must educate and engage the younger as well as the adult generation in protecting themselves and their organisations.

We believe in engaging the youth in technology development and deployment while individualising their experience and enhancing their knowledge. The only way to advance the quality of life is sharing and caring and collaborating.
