When cybersecurity incidents in a country double from 10.29 lakh to 22.68 lakh in just two years, as they did in India between 2022 and 2024, according to data from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the conversation needs to shift from enterprise firewalls to what is happening on the phone in your pocket. That shift is precisely what 63SATS Cybertech is engineering with the launch of CYBX Version 2, an update to what it calls India's first cybersecurity super app for consumers.
The update brings three distinct additions: encrypted group calling for up to 50 participants, a gamification layer built around a real-time security score, and full Hindi language support. Each of these targets a specific gap in how Indian smartphone users currently experience digital safety, or more accurately, the absence of it.
Encrypted Group Calling: A First for Indian Consumer Apps
Secure one-on-one calling was introduced in CYBX's first version, complete with end-to-end encryption and alerts if the other party switched to speakerphone or attempted to record the conversation. Version 2 takes this to group calls, supporting up to 50 participants with the same protections. Third-party recording apps are blocked entirely during these calls.
This is not a feature that existed in the Indian consumer app ecosystem before. Messaging apps like WhatsApp offer encrypted calls, but they do not block recording through system-level screen capture or third-party tools. For professionals handling sensitive discussions, joint family conversations about finances, or startup teams discussing strategy, the distinction matters. CYBX calls also do not store any recordings on their servers, a privacy-first approach that sets it apart.
Gamification That Serves a Purpose
Cybersecurity tools have historically struggled with a fundamental problem: people install them and then forget they exist. CYBX V2 attempts to solve this with a behaviour-driven engagement model.
At the centre of this is the CYBX Security Score, a dynamic number out of 100 that reflects a user's current digital safety posture. The score is calculated based on three inputs: device security (whether OS updates are current and whether the device has been rooted or jailbroken), user behaviour (clicking suspicious links and installing unverified apps), and threat exposure (recent interactions with flagged content). A score of 90 does not mean you are 90 per cent safe. It means your protections are largely in place and your recent behaviour has not triggered warnings.
Alongside the score, V2 introduces badges for maintaining safe habits and contextual nudges that appear before a user makes a potentially risky decision. The message "This link looks risky" arrives before you tap, not after. Navigation has also been rebuilt with non-technical language and flows that reduce most actions to one or two taps.
Hindi: Breaking the Language Barrier in Digital Safety
India has 900 million smartphone users. A significant majority of them are more comfortable in Hindi or regional languages than in English. Yet nearly every cybersecurity tool available to Indian consumers operates exclusively in English. CYBX V2 is now fully available in Hindi, with the interface designed around relatable, conversational phrasing rather than technical translations.
The timing is relevant. Ministry of Home Affairs data show that cybercrime is expanding in scale, with first-time digital users in smaller towns increasingly falling victim to phishing and UPI fraud. Making security tools available in the language people think in is not a cosmetic upgrade. It is a structural requirement for mass adoption.
The Foundation: 65+ Threat Protections and Embedded Insurance
Version 2 sits on top of an existing platform that already protects against more than 65 types of cyber threats. This includes phishing link detection across platforms, a QR code scanner that reveals payee details and catches fake overlays by sound alert of the payee’s name and amount, where the QR has it, malware and suspicious app detection, public Wi-Fi monitoring, and the UPI payment sound box feature that reads transaction details aloud before confirmation. No major UPI app offers this.
The app also integrates cyber insurance with ICICI Lombard, providing coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh against financial fraud, identity theft, and cyberbullying. This embedded insurance model, where software protection and financial protection live inside the same subscription, remains unique in India's consumer app market.
CYBX has been independently tested by STQC for functional compliance and has crossed 500,000 downloads on Google Play.
"With the launch of CYBX Version 2, we have taken this commitment a step further by introducing enhanced, user-centric features that make security more proactive and engaging. Our focus has always been to move beyond just technology and create a solution that understands user behaviour, guides it, and ultimately makes cybersecurity a seamless part of everyday life." -- Srinivas L, Joint MD and Joint CEO, 63SATS Cybertech
From Fragmented Tools to One Platform
Indian consumers today rely on a patchwork of apps for digital safety: one for caller ID, another for antivirus, a third for encrypted calls, and separate insurance policies for fraud protection. CYBX consolidates this entire stack. Notably, it does so without requiring contact list access for its spam detection features, a privacy distinction worth noting given how liberally most competing apps harvest user data.
63SATS Cybertech, backed by parent company 63 Moons Technologies and its 25-year track record of protecting financial exchanges, raised Rs 245 crore in its maiden funding round at a valuation of Rs 1,161 crore. With cybercrime losses in India touching Rs 22,495 crore in 2025 alone and over 28 lakh complaints filed, the market for a product that actually puts protection in the hands of ordinary users is not shrinking anytime soon.
