Made in India Cybersecurity Platform for IT and OT
Spharaka is an AI SOC provider built in India. Spharaka Sphere™ is an AI-powered, autonomous SOC platform for enterprise IT, and Spharaka Signal™ carries the same foundation into OT and ICS. Both are designed and engineered by our teams in Hyderabad and Bengaluru, and both run on India-resident cloud, on-premises or air-gapped.
An Indian product, not an Indian reseller
India runs much of its banking, government, defence and industrial infrastructure on security products designed elsewhere. Spharaka was founded to change that with a platform whose core intelligence is designed, owned and operated in India.
Hyderabad and Bengaluru
Registered office in Hyderabad, with an office in Bengaluru.
Incubated by the NCoE
The National Centre of Excellence for Cybersecurity.
Platform of the Year
Autonomous Cyber Defence Platform of the Year.
DeepTech Launchpad
Selected for NASSCOM's programme for novel Indian technology.
Every layer of the platform was built in India
Not a foreign engine with an Indian front end. From the language model at the bottom to the products at the top, each layer is Spharaka's own intellectual property.
SAGE™: the model
Spharaka's own cybersecurity small language model, developed in India by fine-tuning open foundation models on Spharaka's cybersecurity datasets, reasoning frameworks and investigation technology. It runs inside the customer's environment, so reasoning over Indian telemetry happens where that telemetry lives.
AuraXP™: the agent fabric
The agentic AI engine: more than 40 AI agents that investigate, decide and act as a virtual SOC team, mirroring how an experienced analyst reasons, at machine speed.
AirWatch™: the governance layer
Decides what autonomy is permitted. Every action is validated before it runs, recorded in an audit trail, and can run supervised or unsupervised depending on the customer's policy.
Spharaka Sphere™: the IT platform
SIEM, SOAR, XDR, UEBA, EDR, threat intelligence and autonomous threat hunting as one system sharing one context, rather than separate products passing tickets.
Spharaka EdgeProtect™: the endpoint
Application control, process monitoring, ransomware protection and one-click containment on every endpoint, feeding the same investigation.
Spharaka Signal™: the OT platform
Passive, protocol-aware security for OT and ICS estates, with 370+ industrial and IT protocols supported and 276+ deep packet inspection decoders.
An AI SOC platform in India, answered directly
Six things people in India look for when they are choosing a security operations platform, and where each one is covered in depth.
AI SOC provider in India
Spharaka Networks builds and supplies the AI SOC platform itself, from Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Enterprises run it in-house, and managed security providers in India run it for their customers.
AI SOC platform
AI-powered SOC platform in India
Spharaka Sphere™ applies AI to every stage of the SOC: correlation in the SIEM, baselines in UEBA, enrichment from threat intelligence, and response written per incident.
AI SIEM
Autonomous SOC platform in India
An autonomous SOC does not stop at an alert. It investigates, reasons about the evidence, decides and acts, inside a policy the customer sets, with people kept on the decisions that matter.
Autonomous cyber defence platform
OT security platform in India
Spharaka Signal™ secures plants, substations and utilities passively, decoding industrial protocols at the command level without probing a controller.
OT cybersecurity
Indian SOAR and automated response
Playbooks are generated for the incident in front of the platform rather than written months in advance, and executed under AirWatch™ governance.
AI SOAR
MDR and MSSP platform built in India
Multi-tenant by design, so an Indian MSSP can run autonomous investigation across its customers from one console and keep each tenant's data separate.
MSSP and MDR
IT security capabilities
One platform for the enterprise estate: endpoints, servers, networks, identities, cloud and applications, investigated as one system.
Platform
Spharaka Sphere™
The autonomous cyber defence platform for enterprise IT.
Spharaka EdgeProtect™
Endpoint protection, application control and one-click containment.
Spharaka Sphere™ On-Premises
The full platform in your own data centre, including air-gapped sites.
Capabilities
AI SOC
The whole operation: detection, investigation and response running as one autonomous loop.
AI SIEM
Collection and correlation: how telemetry arrives, is normalised, and becomes a security event.
AI UEBA
Per-identity and per-entity baselines, so a legitimate action by the wrong actor still reads as wrong.
Cyber Threat Intelligence
External context: feeds fused and deduplicated, then attached to the events they actually bear on.
Autonomous Threat Hunting
Looking without an alert: continuous ATT&CK-mapped hypotheses tested against your own estate.
Beyond XDR
The cross-surface view, and why most XDR deployments stop short of the autonomy they promised.
AI SOAR
Acting on a decision: playbooks generated per incident rather than hand-built in advance.
OT and ICS security capabilities
For Indian power, oil and gas, manufacturing, water and transport operators, where scanning a controller is not an option and downtime is physical. Signal™ listens passively and reads industrial traffic at the command level.
Platform and capabilities
Spharaka Signal™
The OT and ICS security platform itself.
OT Security
The autonomous defence loop extended to industrial estates.
ICS Security
The control layer: PLCs, RTUs, IEDs and the protocols that command them, including safety-instrumented systems.
SCADA Security
The supervisory layer: HMIs, historians, engineering workstations and wide-area telemetry links.
Industrial Cybersecurity
The programme view: governance, IT and OT convergence, ownership, and how an industrial security function is actually run.
OT Asset Discovery
Building a device-of-record for an estate nobody has fully documented, without probing a safety controller.
OT Threat Detection
Three detection engines over one event store: signature, query-language rules and behavioural models.
Passive OT Monitoring
Why passive collection is the default in industrial networks, and what it can and cannot see.
IEC 62443 Security
Zones, conduits and security levels, and which parts of the standard continuous monitoring can evidence.
Manufacturing OT Security
Discrete and process manufacturing: Profinet, EtherNet/IP, CIP Safety, and cell-to-cell segmentation.
Energy and Utilities OT Security
Substations and generation: IEC 61850, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, and NERC CIP evidence.
Critical Infrastructure Security
Water, transport and public infrastructure, where the consequence of failure is physical and public.
Industrial protocols decoded
370+ industrial and IT protocols supported, including:
Continuous compliance evidence
- IEC 62443-3-3: System security requirements, SR 1 through SR 7.
- NERC CIP: CIP-002 through CIP-014, for bulk electric system operators.
- NIST SP 800-82r3: The current guide to operational technology security.
- AWWA G430: Security practices for water and wastewater utilities.
Built for Indian regulation, not adapted to it
CERT-In, the DPDP Act and sectoral regulators put a jurisdiction requirement inside the security stack itself. A platform that reasons offshore cannot meet it however its contract is written. More in data sovereignty in Indian cybersecurity.
- CERT-In Directions: incident reporting within six hours, and log retention within Indian jurisdiction
- The DPDP Act: breach assessment and notification drawn from the same evidence as the CERT-In report
- RBI directions for banks and payment systems, and SEBI's CSCRF for market intermediaries
- IRDAI requirements for insurers, where policyholder data and its security telemetry stay in India
- Critical information infrastructure, where the platform may need to run fully disconnected
Three ways to keep the data in India
The same platform in each, with the AI reasoning inside the boundary you choose. See choosing a deployment model and Sphere™ On-Premises.
India-resident SaaS
The full platform as a managed service on India-resident cloud infrastructure, for organisations that need Indian data residency without running their own hardware.
On-premises
The full platform inside your own data centre. Telemetry, incident data and AI reasoning all stay on your premises.
Hardware appliance
A pre-configured appliance for air-gapped and maximum-sovereignty sites such as defence, critical national infrastructure and classified research.
Built in India, compared with sold in India
Most security platforms available in India are imported. The difference shows up in where your data goes and who you can reach when something breaks.
| Aspect | Imported platform | Spharaka |
|---|---|---|
| Where the product is built | Designed abroad, localised for India | Designed and engineered in Hyderabad and Bengaluru |
| Where the AI reasons | A cloud region chosen by the vendor, sometimes outside India | Inside your boundary: India-resident cloud, on-premises or air-gapped |
| Indian regulation | Mapped to CERT-In, DPDP, RBI and SEBI after the fact | A design input from the first release |
| IT and OT | Often two vendors and two consoles | One foundation under Sphere™ and Signal™ |
| Government procurement | Usually through a reseller chain | Registered seller on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) |
| Engineering access | Product teams in another time zone | Product engineers in India, in your SOC's time zone |
Protecting Indian industries
The constraints differ by sector: RBI and SEBI in finance, sovereignty in government and defence, availability in energy and manufacturing.
Banking and Finance
Payment rails, digital channels and settlement systems, under RBI, PCI-DSS, SEBI and IRDAI scrutiny.
Healthcare
Clinical continuity first: EMR access, unpatchable medical devices and a lean team facing enterprise volume.
Government
Citizen services and sovereign data, where the platform's location matters as much as what it detects.
Manufacturing
A plant floor and a corporate network on one investigation, with Signal™ covering the OT half.
Energy and Utilities
Substations, grid control and water, where availability outranks confidentiality and outages are physical.
Defence and Aerospace
Classified and disconnected networks, where the model has to run locally or not at all.
MSSP and MDR
Many tenants, one team: autonomous investigation as the thing that makes the economics work.
Recognised by Indian institutions
Made in India cybersecurity: common questions
Is Spharaka an Indian cybersecurity company?
Yes. Spharaka Networks Private Limited is a Made in India deep-tech cybersecurity company with its registered office in Hyderabad and an office in Bengaluru. Its products, Spharaka Sphere™, Spharaka EdgeProtect™ and Spharaka Signal™, are designed and engineered in India.
Who is an AI SOC provider in India?
Spharaka Networks is an Indian AI SOC provider. It builds Spharaka Sphere™, an AI-native autonomous SOC platform that unifies SIEM, SOAR, XDR, UEBA and EDR, and it is available to enterprises directly and through managed security partners.
What is an autonomous SOC platform, and is there one built in India?
An autonomous SOC platform detects a threat, investigates it, reasons about the evidence, decides on a response and carries it out, with human oversight kept for high-impact decisions. Spharaka Sphere™ is an autonomous SOC platform designed and built in India.
Which parts of the Spharaka platform were built in India?
All of it. SAGE™, the cybersecurity language model, was developed in India by fine-tuning open foundation models on Spharaka's own data. AuraXP™, the agent engine, AirWatch™, the governance layer, and the Sphere™, EdgeProtect™ and Signal™ products are Spharaka's own intellectual property, built by its teams in India.
Does Spharaka cover OT and ICS security in India?
Yes. Spharaka Signal™ provides passive asset discovery, protocol-aware threat detection and continuous compliance evidence for OT and ICS estates, with 370+ industrial and IT protocols supported, including Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850 and OPC UA.
Can the platform keep security data inside India?
Yes. It can be deployed as SaaS on India-resident cloud infrastructure, on-premises in your own data centre, or as an air-gapped hardware appliance. In each case the AI reasoning runs inside that boundary rather than in a foreign region.
How does the platform help with CERT-In's six-hour reporting requirement?
It investigates an incident as it happens and assembles the timeline, affected assets and evidence as it goes, so the facts a CERT-In report needs exist within the reporting window, and the same record supports a DPDP breach assessment.
Can government organisations in India buy Spharaka through GeM?
Spharaka Networks is a registered seller on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM). It is also recognised under DPIIT Startup India, is MSME registered, and is incubated by the National Centre of Excellence, a DSCI and MeitY initiative.
