GOAD BRAINS’ Program Marks 25 Years of Empowering Communities, Transforming 2.85 Million Lives.

MUMBAI | September 8, 2025 — In a world where digital threats evolve every day, protecting people and organisations requires more than tools — it requires practical skills, shared responsibility and community-first solutions. Goad Brains, our flagship cyber-resilience initiative, transforms cybersecurity awareness into real-world capability by combining technology-driven learning, industry partnerships and community empowerment.

Designed to close the cyber skills gap, Goad Brains delivers hands-on, scenario-based training in areas such as secure behaviour, phishing prevention, privacy hygiene, safe digital payments, incident response and disaster recovery. The program is accessible in multiple languages and uses AI-personalised learning paths, simulated attack labs, and vernacular content so first-time digital users and frontline staff alike can learn quickly and confidently.

Powered by collaborations with government bodies, NGOs, academic institutions and corporate partners — and amplified by the volunteer mentorship drive “Each One Secures One” — Goad Brains trains and empowers learners, facilitators and community champions to turn knowledge into safer practices. Through local partnerships and scalable digital modules, the program helps individuals and small businesses adopt secure digital habits, claim digital services safely, and recover faster from incidents.

A focus on life-relevant cyber skills means learners don’t just recognise threats — they can act: protecting household finances from fraud, using government and banking services securely, setting up safe digital identities, and supporting community resilience during outages or targeted attacks.

“Cyber safety starts with people — not just products. Goad Brains equips communities with the skills and confidence to use digital tools safely, participate in the digital economy, and respond when things go wrong,” said the Head of Cyber Resilience at Goad Brains.

What Goad Brains delivers:

• Practical, scenario-led training that moves learners from awareness to action.

• Industry-validated simulations and AI-driven personalization for fast, measurable skill gains.

• Community mentorship programs that scale learning through local facilitators and volunteers.

• Targeted outreach for small businesses, women-led enterprises and underserved communities to reduce exposure to fraud and cybercrime.

• Tools and content to strengthen organisational readiness and accelerate incident recovery.

Goad Brains turns cybersecurity into a capability everyone can access — building safer individuals, stronger organisations and more resilient communities. Learn how to join, partner or bring this training to your community.
