Strategic Collaboration on UAS Cybersecurity
Globals’ partnership with CERT-In extends beyond empanelment. Earlier this year, the company collaborated with CERT-In to release a landmark white paper titled “Good Practices for protecting Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) against Cyber Security Threats”. This comprehensive publication addresses the growing cybersecurity challenges facing drone technology across defense, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and delivery services.
The white paper provides essential guidance on threat modeling approaches (including PASTA, NIST, and STRIDE frameworks), communications security, software security practices, supply chain security, and operational security measures. This joint work demonstrates Globals’ commitment to advancing cybersecurity standards in emerging technologies and strengthening India’s drone ecosystem against sophisticated cyber threats.
Indigenous Innovation: Anvil AI Security, MarCAP, and TSOC
Globals continues to drive indigenous cybersecurity innovation through several flagship solutions:
Anvil AI Red-Teaming Platform: In October 2025, Globals was selected by the IndiaAI Mission as one of only five recipients from over 400 nationwide applications to receive a grant under the Safe and Trusted AI initiative. Anvil is an enterprise-grade red-teaming platform designed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in large language models and AI systems before deployment. Built to NIST ATLAS, OWASP, AIUC, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act’s Red Teaming standards, the platform provides automated vulnerability discovery across 50+ threat categories including prompt injection, jailbreaking, data poisoning, and model extraction. Developed in partnership with IIIT Dharwad, Anvil represents India’s indigenous capability in AI security and positions the nation at the forefront of safe and trusted AI development.
Maritime Cyber Situational Awareness Platform (MarCAP): Unveiled at the seminar on “Impact of Cyber Attacks on Maritime Sector and its Effects on National Security and International Relations” organized by the Directorate of Information Warfare of the Indian Navy on October 16, 2025, MarCAP is a SOC-in-the-Box designed for naval and maritime ecosystems. The platform was introduced to Shri Jitin Prasada, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Naval Staff, and other senior dignitaries from the Indian Navy, Ministry of Defence, and MeitY. MarCAP protects naval and commercial maritime vessels from evolving cyber threats with AI-driven, air-gapped security, ensuring resilience and operational continuity.
Tactical Security Operations Center (TSOC): Showcased at Aero India 2025’s India Pavilion, TSOC represents a breakthrough in military-grade cyber defense. This portable, AI-powered cyber defense unit operates seamlessly in high-threat environments including air-gapped military bases, GPS-denied regions, and electronic warfare-contested zones. Unlike conventional SOCs that rely on centralized networks, TSOC provides real-time threat intelligence, automated response mechanisms, and zero-trust security in a compact, rapidly deployable form. The solution secures UAV controllers, SATCOM terminals, NTP servers, battlefield surveillance systems, and command and control communications.
Indigenous Data Diodes: Through a strategic partnership with Tegolinx Systems, Globals manufactures indigenously developed Data Diodes—critical hardware-enforced security components that ensure unidirectional data flow for air-gapped military networks. These “Make-in-India” cybersecurity hardware solutions align with India’s defense modernization goals and provide unhackable protection for sensitive military infrastructure.
Advancing National Cyber Resilience
“This CERT-In empanelment represents a significant milestone in our journey to secure India’s critical digital infrastructure,” said Suhas Gopinath, Founder and CEO of Globals Inc. “The comprehensive scope of this recognition—spanning traditional security audits to cutting-edge AI, blockchain, and IoT assessments—validates our technical depth and positions us to serve organizations that require the highest standards of cybersecurity assurance. Combined with our collaborative work on UAS security and our indigenous defense and AI security solutions, this empanelment reflects Globals’ unwavering dedication to strengthening India’s cybersecurity posture across all domains”.
“CERT-In empanelment validates years of focused research and development in building indigenous security capabilities across hardware, software, and emerging technology domains,” said Tejas Narayana, Head of R&D at Globals, “Our ability to deliver comprehensive security audits—from firmware-level vulnerability research to AI system red-teaming—reflects the depth of our technical expertise. This recognition enables us to bring world-class offensive security frameworks and vulnerability research capabilities to organizations protecting India’s most critical assets”.
Globals’ in-house R&D laboratory has received prestigious recognition from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), validating the company’s significant investments in research and development of advanced security technologies for aerospace, defense, AI, and critical sectors.
