Where things stand
Psylinks Security has held talks with the Department of Information Technology (IT), Government of Tripura, including a meeting with the Tripura IT Cell at Destination Tripura, about setting up a malware research lab in Tripura. No agreement has been signed yet. Signing an agreement is the next step, and we will update this page when that happens.
We want to combine private-sector engineering with public-sector infrastructure to improve data sovereignty and proactive threat defence.

The planned Cyber Threat Intelligence Lab
The lab would be a research and testing ground for analysing malware, reverse-engineering malicious software and studying new vulnerabilities.
What it would do
- Malware research: study new trojans, ransomware and spyware to understand how they run.
- Better products: findings would feed into our security software, including Psylinks AV, and our threat-detection API, so threats are caught faster.
- Vulnerability testing: simulate advanced attacks in an isolated environment to help harden infrastructure.
Project VELED: encrypted email
Project VELED is an upcoming end-to-end encrypted email service, designed with zero telemetry. Unlike providers that index your inbox and track metadata, VELED is being built to collect as little as possible.
If the partnership goes ahead, the email infrastructure is planned to run on secure servers of the Government of Tripura, so sensitive data stays within authorised borders.
