Kerala Police has signed a three-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) with cybersecurity company Cyble to strengthen cybercrime investigations through threat intelligence, investigative support and specialised training. The agreement was signed through Cyble’s Indian subsidiary, Cyble Infosec India Private Limited, and will support the Kerala Police Cyber Operations Wing and Cyberdome in identifying and investigating emerging cyber threats.
Under the agreement, Cyble will provide intelligence relevant to cybercrime investigations, including information on compromised credentials, ransomware activity, data leaks, phishing networks, online fraud infrastructure and the impersonation of government and police brands.
The collaboration is intended to help investigators identify suspicious digital activity and understand cyber threats that often originate across borders or operate through underground online forums and illicit marketplaces.
The MoU also includes no-cost evaluation access to selected Cyble platforms. Police officers will receive training in open-source intelligence (OSINT) and dark web investigations to improve their ability to collect, analyse and use digital evidence.
Another focus area is research into emerging cyber threats, including AI-enabled fraud, deepfakes, mule account networks and investment scams. Public awareness initiatives will also be undertaken as part of the partnership to help citizens understand evolving online risks.
Cyble co-founder and CEO Beenu Arora said timely intelligence is essential for effective cybercrime investigations, particularly when criminal activity moves through hidden online networks and crosses national boundaries.
Kerala Police representative Ankit Asokan said the collaboration would support Cyberdome and police officers with relevant threat intelligence, strengthen investigative capabilities and help protect citizens from evolving cyber threats.
The partnership builds on Kerala Police’s efforts to strengthen technology-led policing through Cyberdome. By combining specialised cybersecurity intelligence with law enforcement expertise, the initiative aims to improve investigations and support a more proactive response to digital crime.
