CYBX V2 Expands into Encrypted Group Calling, Security Scores, and Hindi Support as India's Cybercrime Crisis Deepens

CYBX V2

63SATS Cybertech updates its consumer cybersecurity super app with features aimed at the 900 million smartphone users who remain largely unprotected

India recorded over 28 lakh cybercrime complaints in 2025, a 24 per cent jump from the previous year, according to data from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Financial losses crossed Rs 22,495 crore. Phishing scams, fake QR codes, and AI-driven fraud are no longer edge cases. They are part of daily life for hundreds of millions of smartphone users who lack even basic digital protection tools.

Against this backdrop, 63SATS Cybertech has rolled out Version 2 of its CYBX app, a consumer cybersecurity platform steadily building a case for itself as India's first mobile security super app. The update expands its encrypted group calling feature to support up to 50 participants, adds a gamified security scoring system, and introduces full Hindi language support, while maintaining the industry's first-of-its-kind cyber insurance. It arrives at a time when the gap between digital adoption and digital safety has never been wider.


What Version 2 Actually Changes

The headline feature in CYBX V2 is its secure group calling capability, which now supports up to 50 users on a single encrypted call. End-to-end encryption prevents third-party interception, and the app actively blocks attempts to record calls from external software. It also notifies the caller if the recipient switches to speakerphone. For families discussing sensitive matters or small business teams handling confidential strategy, this is a practical upgrade that did not exist in any comparable Indian consumer app before.

The second major shift is in how users interact with the app. CYBX V2 introduces a dynamic security score, calculated in real time based on device integrity, user behaviour, and recent threat exposure. Think of it as a credit score for your digital hygiene. A score of 85 out of 100 does not mean a 15 per cent chance of being hacked. It means certain protections are not yet enabled, or some risky patterns have been detected. The system also awards badges for consistently safe behaviour and sends smart nudges before a user walks into a potential threat.

Navigation has been simplified so that most actions, from scanning a suspicious link to checking device safety, take one or two taps. The language used throughout the interface has been stripped of technical jargon. Instead of "malicious URL detected," users see "Unsafe link."

The third update is language accessibility. CYBX V2 is now fully available in Hindi, using simple, relatable phrasing rather than literal translations. With over 86 per cent of Indian households now connected to the internet and first-time digital users increasingly coming from Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, English-only apps have a built-in exclusion problem. The Hindi rollout is a direct response to that gap, with more regional languages reportedly on the roadmap.

What Carries Over from Version 1

Version 2 builds on a base that already covers more than 65 types of cyber threats. The existing feature set includes phishing and malicious link detection, a QR code scanner that displays payee details with a sound alert, along with the amount where the QR has it and hence flags fake overlays before payment, malicious app detection, public Wi-Fi protection, and a secure one-on-one calling feature that alerts users to recording attempts.

One feature that remains unique to CYBX is its UPI payment sound box, which reads out transaction details before you confirm a payment. None of the major UPI apps currently offer this. The app also bundles cyber insurance in partnership with ICICI Lombard, covering losses arising from financial fraud, identity theft, and cyberbullying, up to Rs 10 lakh. No other consumer cybersecurity app in India provides embedded insurance coverage of this kind.

Where This Fits in a Crowded Market

The Indian consumer cybersecurity space has traditionally been fragmented. Users patch together Truecaller for spam detection, a standalone antivirus for malware, a VPN for link scanning, WhatsApp for encrypted calls, and separate insurance policies for fraud coverage. CYBX consolidates all of these into a single application. It also differentiates in privacy. Unlike apps that require access to the contact list for caller ID features, CYBX provides spam call detection without asking users to share their address book.

The app has crossed 500,000 downloads on Google Play and holds STQC certification for its mobile threat detection capabilities, with further global validations underway.

“CYBX is designed to tackle the ever-increasing instances of cybercrime and to support those who are constantly cautious about their digital safety. It simplifies security in a way that makes it accessible, intuitive, and truly people-first." 
-- Srinivas L, Joint MD and Joint CEO, 63SATS Cybertech

The Bigger Picture

63SATS Cybertech is a subsidiary of 63 Moons Technologies, whose infrastructure has protected global financial exchanges and handled over 2 million cyberattack attempts monthly for 25 years. The company raised Rs 245 crore in its Series A at a post-money valuation of Rs 1,161 crore, making it the largest first-round raise for an Indian cybersecurity company.

With cybercrime complaints in India growing over 400 per cent since 2021 and digital payment fraud running into thousands of crores every month, the need for consumer-grade protection is not theoretical. CYBX V2 is 63SATS' bet that security should not require expertise, and that the 900 million smartphone users in this country deserve protection that works in their language, on their terms.
