\u201cPreventing attacks or mitigating the spread of an attack as quickly as possible is of utmost importance for a platform that scales across over 100 million users, 20% of which are making their first digital payments,\u201d said Paavan Nanda, cofounder of Winzo.<\/p>\n
The company said it would aim to develop open-source technologies for cyber security across information and event management, endpoint detection and response protocols, security orchestration, encryption, and penetration testing and detection technology. It would also provide a scholarship to the winners of this challenge, with top participants eligible for internships and pre-placement interviews at Winzo.<\/p>\n
Winzo has a 100 million registered user base and facilitates over four billion micro-transactions per month, making it important for it to focus on the safety of the transacting users and data integrity.<\/p>\n
