ASD Cyber Security continues to make headlines with its groundbreaking work in cybersecurity and digital forensics. From thwarting international cyber attacks to training the next generation of security experts, the company has established itself as a leader in the field.

The team, led by ethical hacker Tapan Kumar Jha, has been instrumental in solving complex cyber crimes that baffled even international agencies. Their forensic lab in Kota, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, has become a go-to resource for law enforcement agencies across Rajasthan.
