GAHNA CyberMind : India's First Sovereign AI Model for Cybersecurity

Protecting India's Digital Frontiers with Trusted Intelligence

GAHNA CyberMind is a specialized Small Language Model (SLM) developed to transform how India detects, responds to, and manages cybersecurity threats. Built under the GAHNA (Generative Architecture for Hyperlocalized Neural Assistants) initiative by ExorionAI, CyberMind is India's first sovereign AI model tailored specifically for cybersecurity and threat intelligence applications.

At a time when India's digital infrastructure is growing rapidly—alongside increasingly complex threat vectors—CyberMind is designed to offer real-time, domain-specific intelligence without compromising on data sovereignty, security, or auditability.

Key Capabilities of GAHNA CyberMind

  • CVE Parsing & Classification
    Understands and summarizes Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) with contextual risk evaluation, severity mapping, and vulnerability impact analysis.

  • Threat Intelligence Correlation
    Maps indicators of compromise (IOCs), threat signatures, and tactics to well-known frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and STIX/TAXII, enabling security analysts to trace and respond faster.

  • SOC Analyst Workbench (AI Co-Pilot)
    Acts as an AI-powered assistant for Security Operations Centre (SOC) teams, helping triage alerts, suggest remediation paths, explain anomaly patterns, and auto-generate analyst notes.

  • Zero Trust & Compliance Alignment
    Built with policy-aligned output layers to assist in Zero Trust security enforcement, audit trail creation, and compliance with India's DPDP Act, CERT-In, and CCMP guidelines.

  • Offline & Air-Gapped Deployability
    Lightweight architecture supports deployment in air-gapped, on-premise, and edge environments, enabling use in defence networks, critical infrastructure, and BFSI domains.

Designed For

  • National Security and Defence Institutions
    For threat detection, vulnerability mapping, cyber wargaming support, and adversarial scenario analysis.

  • Security Operations Centres (SOCs)
    As a productivity amplifier for L1/L2 analysts and as a smart agent for real-time analysis and contextual reporting.

  • Financial Institutions and Banks
    To monitor fraud, phishing, and system-level threats within regulated environments.

  • Critical Infrastructure Agencies
    Supporting sectors like energy, telecom, aviation, and healthcare that demand resilient, secure, and sovereign AI solutions.

Why Sovereign AI for Cybersecurity?

Unlike generic AI models trained on open or unverified datasets, GAHNA CyberMind is trained, fine-tuned, and deployed entirely within Indian infrastructure, ensuring:

  • No data leakage or foreign model dependency

  • Auditability and explainability of outputs

  • Alignment with India-specific regulations, threats, and use-cases

  • Capability to run on secure national computing environments

This addresses core national concerns around AI governance, security compliance, and data localization.

Technical Overview

  • Model Architecture: GAHNA SLM with reasoning capabilities, trained on cybersecurity datasets curated specifically for Indian SOC and CTI use cases.

  • Deployment Options: Kubernetes-ready containers, on-premises bare metal servers, offline inference packages.

  • Model Size: Compact SLM optimized for performance and low latency; fine-tuned on multilingual threat corpora.

  • Interfaces: REST API, CLI, Analyst Workbench UI (browser-based), SOC integration plug-ins.

  • Compliance Frameworks Supported: MITRE ATT&CK, CVE/CWE/NVD standards, CERT-In audit guidelines.

Strategic Impact

GAHNA CyberMind is not just a technological tool—it is a strategic digital asset for the nation. It enhances:

  • Cyber resilience at a national scale

  • Human-machine collaboration in high-stress threat environments

  • India's capability to build and own mission-critical AI models

  • Trust in AI systems within regulated and sensitive sectors

It is a direct response to the evolving cybersecurity challenges of Digital India, and a step toward realizing the IndiaAI Mission pillars—compute, innovation, datasets, and future-skilling.
