ISAC Foundation Section 8 non-profit

Cybersecurity is a human right. ISAC makes it one.

Children fall prey to online predators. Women face harassment behind screens. Families lose savings to financial fraud they didn't see coming. Commercial cybersecurity doesn't reach the people who need it most — so we built a non-profit that does.

Founded by the team behind Cyberange

Same operators. Two mandates.

Cyberange is the commercial cyber range. It trains operators, runs drills, and ships products to enterprise and government customers. ISAC Foundation is its non-profit counterpart — registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, running the public-interest cybersecurity work that doesn't sit on anyone's purchase order.

One team. The same investigators who build adversary playbooks for our enterprise clients lead awareness sessions in district schools. The CTI analysts who publish our annual threat-intel calendar also publish ISAC's child-safety advisories. The legal structure is separate because the beneficiaries are different. The people are not.

Why ISAC exists

The people commercial cybersecurity doesn’t pay for.

01 · Intervene

Live incidents, real money

UPI fraud, sextortion, deepfake harassment, account takeover. ISAC’s response cell helps the victim get the money back, files the FIR, and works with bank fraud-helpdesks where most people would simply give up.

02 · Educate

Awareness, where it’s needed

Tier-2 and Tier-3 schools, RWAs, women’s collectives, senior-citizen groups, NCC cadres. The same threat tradecraft we teach SOC analysts, translated for the people most exposed to it — in their language, in their context.

03 · Train

First responders, multiplied

Police personnel, social workers, school counsellors, NCC cadets — trained to be the first cyber-crime touchpoint in their community. The training compounds because they teach others.
