AWS and DSCI Partner to Power India's Cybersecurity Startup and ISV Community with Generative ....
Amazon Web Services (AWS) India has partnered with the Data
Security Council of India (DSCI) to support a cohort of startups and
Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in India to innovate in cybersecurity using
generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This initiative supports the vision outlined for DSCI's
National Centre of Excellence for Cybersecurity Technology Development (N-CoE),
a joint initiative with the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY), which aims
to encourage security product development and innovation in India, and advance
India as a destination for cybersecurity research and entrepreneurship. The
N-CoE nurtures and accelerates early-stage startups focused on cybersecurity
and privacy solutions, and has incubated 140+ start-ups across 15 domains.
This new initiative will provide startups and ISVs in India
with resources, training and access to AWS services in generative AI, enabling
them to take advantage of industry-leading large language models (LLMs) and
foundation models (FMs), AI tools and infrastructure to accelerate product
development and gain experience in rapid prototyping and scaling. AWS
subject-matter experts in security solutions and AI, and leaders from DSCI will
mentor the startups in the cohort and facilitate hands-on learning and
collaboration for them, including technical concepts and adherence to security
controls, compliances and privacy requirements.
Startups and ISVs will also learn about commercialization and
international expansion opportunities through AWS Marketplace, a curated
digital catalog that customers can use to find solutions specific to their
needs, and other tailored programs for domestic and global markets.
"At DSCI, we are focused about helping startups advance
their innovation edge and marketability in cybersecurity. The emergence of
generative AI in advancing product development is a significant opportunity for
startups, and this new initiative will boost the opportunity for them to access
industry-leading LLMs, tools, infrastructure, services and expertise from AWS
to augment capabilities of their products," said Vinayak Godse, CEO, DSCI.
"AWS is renowned, and its cloud and AI technology not only enable startups
and ISVs to build cutting-edge products, but also scale them to the global
market."
"Security is top priority for us at AWS and building a
safe cyberspace is of paramount importance to help drive the growth of India's
digital economy. We are committed to foster innovation in India's cyberspace
and are excited to collaborate with DSCI to enable builders leverage generative
AI and catalyze cybersecurity innovation," said Sundar V.G., Director -
Business Development, AWS India. "Generative AI is a transformational
technology that can supercharge cybersecurity professionals and innovation in
many ways, for example by helping development teams understand risk better and
prioritize security alerts, automating threat responses, deploying intelligent
threat detection, or driving down costs in product development."
