A new Kerala Police MoU will bring threat intelligence into cybercrime investigations in the state. Cyble, an AI-native cybersecurity company, has signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding with Kerala Police that covers intelligence support, investigative assistance and capacity building. The agreement was signed through Cyble's Indian subsidiary, Cyble Infosec India Private Limited. It will support the Kerala Police Cyber Operations wing and Cyberdome in identifying and investigating emerging cyber threats. The announcement was made on October 12, 2026.

Why the Kerala Police MoU Focuses on Threat Intelligence

According to Cyble, cybercriminals increasingly use underground online forums and illicit marketplaces to trade stolen credentials, distribute leaked data, coordinate ransomware operations and facilitate fraud. Identifying these activities before they cause harm requires timely intelligence and effective collaboration between technology providers and law enforcement agencies.

What MoU Covers

Under the MoU, Cyble will support Kerala Police with intelligence relevant to cybercrime investigations. This includes compromised credentials, ransomware activity, data leaks, phishing and fraud infrastructure, and the impersonation of government and police brands. The collaboration has three other parts:

• No-cost evaluation access to select Cyble platforms.
• Training for police officers in open-source intelligence (OSINT) and dark web investigations.
• Joint research into emerging threats such as AI-enabled fraud, deepfakes, mule account networks and investment scams.

Public awareness initiatives will also form part of the collaboration. “Effective cybercrime investigations require timely intelligence, especially when criminal activity originates across borders and moves through hidden online networks,” said Beenu Arora, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyble. “Kerala Police has taken a proactive approach to cyber policing through Cyberdome. Through this collaboration, we aim to help investigators access relevant threat intelligence, strengthen their investigative capabilities, and better understand emerging threats targeting citizens and institutions.” Ankit Asokan, IPS, Kerala Police, said: “Cybercrime investigations increasingly require access to timely intelligence on threats that may originate beyond conventional online channels. This collaboration will support Cyberdome and our officers with relevant intelligence, strengthen investigative capabilities, and contribute to efforts to protect citizens from evolving cyber threats.”

Aim of the Kerala Police MoU

The MoU reflects a shared focus on strengthening cybercrime response through collaboration, intelligence sharing and knowledge development. By combining Cyble's threat intelligence capabilities with Kerala Police's investigative expertise, the partnership aims to support more informed investigations and improve awareness of emerging cyber risks. Cyble describes itself as an AI-native cybersecurity company that helps governments and enterprises identify, prioritize and respond to cyber threats.
