KOCHI, INDIA, SEPTEMBER 25: UAE-headquartered cybersecurity company CyberShelter has strengthened its global delivery and technology capabilities with the inauguration of its new Global Delivery Centre (GDC) and Cyber Security Centre of Excellence (CoE) at LuLu IT Twin Towers, SmartCity, Kakkanad, Kochi.
The new centre was inaugurated on Thursday by Kerala Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan, marking an important milestone in CyberShelter’s international expansion and continued investment in cybersecurity technology, research, product development and global delivery capabilities.
Speaking after inaugurating the facility, Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan highlighted the growing importance of cybersecurity in Kerala’s transition towards data-driven governance. He said the state government is taking steps towards strengthening data-driven governance, including the installation of necessary dashboards in his office, and stressed the important role of companies such as CyberShelter in protecting data and enabling a secure digital governance ecosystem.
Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, CyberShelter provides full-spectrum cybersecurity solutions to more than 100 large enterprise clients across the India-GCC region and global markets, in addition to a wider base of indirect customers. The company has completed more than 700 high-value projects across the banking, government and critical infrastructure sectors.
The new Kochi facility will serve as a strategic extension of CyberShelter’s global delivery ecosystem, supporting customers across the UAE, GCC, India and international markets. The centre brings together advanced cybersecurity operations, AI-driven platforms, research and development, product engineering and specialised cybersecurity teams.
The facility will house a 24/7 Global Cyber Defence Centre (CDC) and Security Operations Centre (SOC), AI-driven Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) capabilities, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), advanced threat intelligence operations, cybersecurity research laboratories and product development teams.
The expansion further strengthens CyberShelter’s ability to deliver technology-enabled cybersecurity services and solutions to organisations operating in increasingly complex digital environments across the GCC and global markets.
CyberShelter recently unveiled its flagship GRCShelter platform at GISEC Global in Dubai. AI-powered platform represents CyberShelter’s continued focus on developing next-generation cybersecurity solutions for enterprise customers.
The Kochi centre will contribute to the continued development and enhancement of CyberShelter’s cybersecurity product portfolio, enabling the company to combine its UAE market presence and customer relationships with India-based technology, engineering and research capabilities.
“Our vision has always been to build cybersecurity capabilities that are global in outlook and local in execution. The Kochi Global Delivery Centre strengthens our ability to support customers across the UAE, GCC and international markets while creating a strong technology and innovation base in India. By combining our UAE presence with our growing capabilities in Kochi, we are building a connected cybersecurity ecosystem designed to serve the evolving needs of global enterprises,” said Illyas Kooliyankal, Founder and Group CEO of CyberShelter.
The new centre is expected to support CyberShelter’s next phase of growth, including increasing demand for its cybersecurity solutions, managed security capabilities, AI-driven platforms and professional services.
The expansion also strengthens the company’s ability to develop and deploy cybersecurity technologies from India for customers across the GCC and wider international markets, while maintaining CyberShelter’s established presence in the UAE.
CyberShelter’s international operations are supported by major industry accreditations and certifications, including ISO 27001, CREST and Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC) certifications.
The company continues to expand its capabilities across AI-powered cybersecurity, cyber defence, SOC operations, GRC, VAPT, threat intelligence, cybersecurity consulting, research and product engineering.
The establishment of the Kochi Global Delivery Centre marks another step in CyberShelter’s strategy of building a globally connected cybersecurity organisation, with the UAE serving as a key international business hub and India providing a growing base for technology, innovation, delivery and talent.
