Some highlights from recent events with our scholarship partner, Cyber Secured India 🇮🇳📸

From faculty development programs and student competitions to cybersecurity workshops and community events, it’s been amazing to see the enthusiasm and engagement from students, educators, and professionals across India.

We were especially excited to share copies of Cyber Upside Down, host screenings of Into the Breach: Breaking into the Firewall, and integrate OPSWAT Academy scholarships into these initiatives. The feedback on the movie was incredible — loved seeing how engaged and excited everyone was during the screenings and discussions afterward 🚀

Proud to support the next generation of cybersecurity talent together with Cyber Secured India 💙

For years, file security has followed the same pattern: detect, block, repeat.
But as threats evolve faster — especially in the age of AI — adding more detection layers may not be enough.
What if the real issue isn’t improving detection, but rethinking the approach entirely?
Join us for a live fireside chat with Benny Czarny, Founder & CEO of OPSWAT, as we explore the mindset behind prevention-first cybersecurity and the thinking that led to Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR).

In OT environments, risk often emerges in the moments we overlook.

The scenarios here reflect common, real-world situations where everyday decisions can impact the security of critical systems. Understanding these moments is key to building stronger, more consistent security practices across operations.

🤝 March marked a series of meaningful engagements across OPSWAT Academy’s global community.

From participating in the recent #CWG2026 conference, to celebrating International Women’s Day with CyberWomen@Warwick in collaboration with the Warwick Cyber Security Society, connecting with professionals at the OMPEG UK Winter Showcase 2026 in London, and most recently meeting the Virgin Money Cyber Security team in Scotland, the momentum has been strong.

These initiatives were organized in coordination with SafeSkillz UK and Cyber Secured India, whose commitment continues to drive impact.

We were glad to see strong interest in Benny Czarny’s new book - Cybersecurity Upside Down, and that it sparked thoughtful discussions among students, young professionals, and industry leaders, reflecting a community actively shaping the future of cybersecurity.
