Rajasthan, India: In today’s rapidly evolving digital era, the internet, online banking, UPI, and social media have become essential parts of everyday life. While digital technology has made life more convenient, it has also brought increasing challenges such as cybercrime, online fraud, and digital scams. In this scenario, cybersecurity awareness has become more important than ever.
Working towards this cause, Akshay K. Sharma, a young Cyber Security Educator, Author, and Founder of CyberBharat, is actively making efforts to spread awareness about digital safety and cybercrime prevention.
Turning Cyber Awareness into a Mission
Akshay K. Sharma aims to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible not only to technical experts but also to ordinary citizens, students, and young people.
Through online awareness sessions, educational activities, and offline awareness initiatives, he is working to educate people about online fraud, phishing attacks, fake websites, UPI fraud, and social media scams.
He believes that digital safety begins with awareness and that every internet user should understand the basic principles of cybersecurity.
Building an Identity as an Author
With the objective of sharing cybersecurity knowledge with a wider audience, Akshay K. Sharma has authored a book titled “Cyber Security & Ethical Hacking: The Ultimate Hacker Handbook.”
The book is an educational resource for students, beginners, and individuals interested in cybersecurity and ethical hacking. Through this publication, he aims to encourage the younger generation to explore cybersecurity and understand the importance of using technology responsibly.
CyberBharat: An Initiative Towards a Safer Digital India
Founded by Akshay K. Sharma, CyberBharat is an initiative focused on promoting Cyber Awareness, Digital Safety, and Cybercrime Prevention.
Through this platform, efforts are being made to provide useful cybersecurity information, educational resources, and interactive cybersecurity quizzes. The objective is to help people identify digital threats and become more aware of safe internet practices.
The vision behind CyberBharat is simple: an aware citizen can become the foundation of a safer digital society.
This Diwali, Make Digital Safety a Priority
During festive seasons, online shopping, attractive discounts, gift offers, and digital payments increase significantly. Cybercriminals often take advantage of these opportunities through fraudulent links, fake websites, and misleading promotional offers.
Akshay encourages people to avoid clicking on suspicious links, never share their OTP or UPI PIN with anyone, and always verify a website before making online payments.
In case of financial cyber fraud, citizens should immediately contact the national cybercrime helpline at 1930 or report the incident through the official National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
An Inspiring Message for the Youth
Akshay K. Sharma believes that India’s digital future depends not only on technological development but also on the digital awareness of its citizens.
His vision is to make cybersecurity knowledge accessible to more people and promote cyber awareness across Rajasthan and the rest of India.
His message this Diwali is:
“This festival of lights, illuminate not just your homes but also your digital world with awareness. Make cybersecurity a habit and contribute towards building a safer and more cyber-aware India.”
For Akshay K. Sharma, cybersecurity is not just a profession but a responsibility towards society and a mission to make India digitally safer.
