Paytm Leads Cybersecurity Initiative with Critical Training for Police Forces in Kerala and West Bengal

As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance cybersecurity across India, Paytm recently conducted critical training sessions for the Thiruvananthapuram Rural Police in Kerala and the Barrackpore Police Commissionerate in West Bengal. The initiative, led by Paytm’s Vice President Mehnaz Parveen, aimed to equip law enforcement agencies with the knowledge and tools necessary to tackle cybercrime in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Understanding the Fintech Ecosystem: The sessions provided a deep dive into the digital payment ecosystem, offering insights into how these systems operate and where vulnerabilities lie. With the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals, understanding the intricacies of fintech platforms is essential for effective law enforcement.

These tools are designed to help law enforcement agencies trace digital transactions, identify perpetrators, and secure critical evidence.

By staying informed about these trends, law enforcement agencies can better anticipate and respond to potential threats.

4. Collaboration with Paytm’s Law Enforcement Response Team (LERT): The sessions emphasized the importance of a seamless exchange of information between Paytm and law enforcement agencies. This collaboration is crucial for processing legal documents, handling emergency requests, and addressing inquiries related to cybercrime investigations.
