India is not only a fast-growing market for Redis, it is also helping to shape the future of AI. With one of the world’s largest startup ecosystems, and millions of developers building intelligent applications, India represents the kind of scale, ambition, and innovation where Redis thrives. As enterprises and startups here embrace AI at unprecedented speed, our focus is on giving them the context, memory, and real-time infrastructure their systems need to be more capable, responsive, and reliable,” Trollope further added. 

Redis also announced the public preview of LangCache, a fully-managed semantic caching service which cuts the latency and token usage for LLM-dependent applications by as much as 70%, and announced several updates to its AI infrastructure tools, including hybrid search enhancements, integrations with agent frameworks for AutoGen and Cognee. For India’s third largest startup ecosystem and the fastest-growing developer community with over 17 million developers, where cost optimization and scalability are crucial, LangCache helps build more affordable AI-powered experiences for chatbots, agents, and enterprise applications.

LangCache public preview

LangCache is Redis’ fully-managed semantic caching solution that stores and retrieves semantically similar calls to LLMs for chatbots and agents, saving roundtrip latency and drastically cutting token usage.

The performance and cost improvements are substantial:

  • Up to 70% reduction in LLM API costs, especially in high-traffic applications
  • 15x faster response times for cache hits compared to live LLM inference
  • Improved end-user experience with lower latency and more consistent outputs

LangCache is in public preview today

New agent integrations and agent memory

It’s now easier to use Redis with existing AI frameworks and tools. Our ecosystem integrations let developers store their data the way they want, without needing to write custom code. New integrations with AutoGen, Cognee, plus new enhancements with LangGraph expand how developers can use Redis’ scalable, persistent memory layer for agents and chatbots.

Build with:

  • AutoGen as a framework while getting the fast-data memory layer of Redis and build with existing templates
  • Cognee to simplify memory management with built-in summarization, planning, and reasoning using Redis as your backbone
  • LangGraph with new enhancements to improve your persistent memory and make your AI agents more reliable

Hacking the Digital Schoolyard: How Cybercriminals Target Education in the Age of AI

India, 22nd september 2025:For International Day to Protect Education from Attack, the conversation often focuses on physical risks to schools in conflict zones. But in 2025, the bigger battleground is digital. The modern classroom has shifted into a digital schoolyard built on platforms like Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and Zoom. While these tools drive collaboration and innovation, they are also prime targets for cyberattacks, especially those utilising AI. Without stronger “digital fences,” schools and universities are exposed to risks that directly threaten students, educators, and even national innovation.

Mr. Sundar Balasubramanian (1)

Education: The World’s Most Attacked Sector

The education sector has become the number one target for cybercriminals worldwide. According to Check Point Research (CPR), the Indian Education and Research sector has been hit with an average of 8,487 cyberattacks per week over the past six months—almost double the global average of 4,368 attacks per organization. Across industries, Indian organizations face 3,278 attacks weekly on average, well above the global benchmark of 1,934. The exceptionally high attack volume in the education sector is driven by multiple factors: rapid digital transformation through hybrid learning models, connected campuses, and widespread use of personal devices, all of which have widened the attack surface. Coupled with limited cybersecurity budgets and the absence of dedicated teams, many institutions remain highly exposed, making them easy targets for cybercriminals.

The Education sector is an exploding sector for cyberattacks due to several specific reasons. Schools house vast amounts of sensitive data—from personal information of students and staff to financial and research data—making them attractive to attackers. In addition, with multiple parties needing to get connected to the particular educational institution for curriculum schedules, term holidays, online classes and move, the areas of intrusions simply increase. To exacerbate the situation, it is a known fact that many educational institutions lack the resources to secure their systems adequately; some simply do not have the know-how or skilled resources to ensure defense measures are also up to date. All these inevitably turn this sector into a “soft target” with a “hard” payoff.

Cyberattacks impacting More Than Just IT Downtime

The impact of cyberattacks on the education sector extends far beyond system outages. School closures and exam disruption caused by ransomware has forced universities offline for weeks, cancelling or delaying assessments. In 2023, ransomware attacks cost educational institutions much more than expected with median payments reaching 6.6 million dolar for lower education and 4.4 million dolar for higher education institutions according to a Sophos report.

Despite these payments, recovery remains a significant challenge, with only 30% of victims fully recovering within a week, down from last year, as limited resources and teams hinder recovery efforts. These ransom payments severely impact the school’s reputation, forcing schools to cut corners in other areas, impacting the quality of education to their student.

In recent times, Dark web sales of student data have been found, from transcripts and personal records to forged certificates causing personal harm to individuals and organisations.

In severe cases of cyberattacks, there have been reports of institutional collapse; the 157-year old Lincoln College in Illinois was forced to shut its doors permanently after a ransomware attack.

Every breach chips away at student trust, academic credibility, and institutional resilience.

The AI Factor: Cybercrime at Machine Speed

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping both the threat landscape and the defensive playbook for education. On the attacker side, AI enables deepfake phishing campaigns targeting students and staff, as well as automated credential theft through large-scale password spraying. Now with the power of AI, AI-driven malware now scans and exploits vulnerabilities in minutes, not weeks as in previous times. Attackers are also weaponising AI in school settings, creating highly convincing scams that make phishing far more effective than ever before integrating cybersecurity education early—especially before AI adoption begins is vital, cultivating the awareness needed to resist AI-generated threats in digital classrooms.

In July 2025 alone, CPR identified 18,000 new education-related domains, with one in every 57 flagged as malicious. Many of these were AI-generated, designed to mimic exam portals, fee-payment systems, or login pages.

On the defender side, AI can now help detect anomalies in login behaviour across thousands of accounts, identify zero-day malware before signatures exist and provide AI-powered prevention-first security, blocking phishing, ransomware, and malicious domains in real time.

Crucially, integrating cyber security education early—especially before AI adoption begins—is vital, cultivating the awareness needed to resist AI-generated threats in digital classrooms. For schools with small IT teams, AI-driven cyber security is no longer optional — it’s the only way to keep pace with attackers.

How Education Can Stay Safe in the AI-Era

To safeguard the digital classroom, education institutions must adopt a prevention-first strategy backed by AI-powered tools. Some key suggestions includes :

  1. Harden authentication by enforcing MFA and monitoring for MFA fatigue phishing tactics.
  2. Network segmentation to prevent attackers from moving laterally once inside.
  3. Reinforce phishing awareness for staff and students with examples of current scam
  4. Patch and update systems regularly, especially widely used platforms such as email and collaboration tools.
  5. Cyber awareness training for students, educators, and parents — helping them spot AI-generated scams, especially sophisticated phishing scams and recognising suspicious links

These aren’t just IT measures  they are core safeguards for the future of learning.

Said Sundar Balasubramanian, Managing Director, Check Point Software Technologies, India & South Asia, Education is the backbone of every country’s future, but without strong cybersecurity, it becomes an easy target for disruption. In India, we’ve seen a surge in AI-powered attacks that not only steal sensitive data but also interrupt learning for millions of students. India’s education and research sector is undergoing a major digital transformation—driven by hybrid learning, connected campuses, and data-intensive research. This shift has significantly widened the threat surface, creating new opportunities for cyber adversaries. Protecting the sector requires a prevention-first approach, enabled by AI-powered defenses, hybrid mesh security architecture, cloud-native security, endpoint protection, and actionable threat intelligence. Only then can we safeguard academic excellence, protect intellectual capital, and ensure that digital classrooms remain safe havens for growth and innovation.”

Protecting the Future of Education

During International Day to Protect Education from Attack, we recognise that cyber security is now fundamental to safeguarding education. The “digital schoolyard” is under constant attack, with AI making threats faster, smarter, and harder to detect. But with the right tools, collaboration, and prevention-first strategies, schools can protect not just their data, but the futures of millions of students.

The GTM Evolution: From Linear Funnels to Full Circle Customer Engagement

abhijit By – Abhijeet Mukherjee, Head of Marketing Crayon Software Experts India

For decades, go-to-market (GTM) strategies followed a predictable, linear progression: awareness, consideration, purchase. In today’s hyper-connected, digitally dominant business environment, this model is no longer sufficient. Buying journeys are now fluid, multi-directional, and heavily influenced by a network of stakeholders and touch points.

Gartner reports that a typical B2B buying group comprises 6-10 decision-makers, each consulting 4-5 information sources to inform their view. This is a dynamic that renders the old funnel inadequate in capturing the complexity of modern buying behavior.

The Collapse of the Traditional Funnel

  • Buyer Autonomy: According to Gartner, 75% of B2B buyers prefer a rep-free experience, and by 2025, 80% of B2B sales interactions will occur through digital channels.
  • Non-Linear Journeys: Forrester finds that 86% of B2B purchases stall mid-process, with 81% of buyers dissatisfied post-purchase, highlighting a disconnect between buyer expectations and seller execution.
  • Omni-Channel Expectations: McKinsey’s latest B2B survey shows that high-growth organizations are those enabling buyers to switch seamlessly between e-commerce, remote, and in-person interactions without disruption.

The Shift to a Full-Circle Engagement Model

The modern GTM framework is best conceptualized as a continuous value loop, where the customer relationship is nurtured before, during, and long after the initial sale. This loop includes eight interconnected motions:

  • Attract – Position around outcomes, not products.
  • Engage – Address the needs of the entire buying committee, tailoring messaging to role-specific priorities.
  • Enable – Equip buyers with interactive tools, ROI calculators, and benchmarking resources; buyers using such tools achieve 1.8× higher deal conversion rates.
  • Convert – Align offers precisely with stated buyer outcomes rather than generic calls to action.
  • Onboard – Reduce time-to-first-value as a critical metric.
  • Adopt – Build shared success cadences across customer success, product, and marketing functions.
  • Expand – Leverage account-level intent and adoption signals for targeted cross-sell and upsell.
  • Advocate – Convert satisfied customers into reference able champions, creating a self-reinforcing demand engine.

Data, AI, and Trust as Strategic Levers

Salesforce’s 2024 State of the Connected Customer report reveals that 73% of customers now feel treated as individuals (up from 39% in 2023), yet 71% remain highly protective of personal data. This creates a dual imperative: personalization must be precise, and privacy protections must be transparent and uncompromising

Key execution principles include:

Establishing a unified data architecture spanning all customer touch points.

Deploying AI to identify the next-best action, predict needs, and deliver hyper-relevant offers while ensuring explicit consent and compliance.

Measuring experience consistency across all channels, as 69% of customers expect seamless interactions regardless of the team or medium.

Redefining the Ideal Customer Profile

The GTM target is no longer the individual lead, but the buying committee itself. Effective engagement requires consensus-building content such as ROI models, risk assessments, and reference architectures that are designed to equip internal champions to navigate internal decision politics.

Omni-channel as a Non-Negotiable

McKinsey’s insights confirm that e-commerce has evolved into a leading B2B purchasing channel, complementing remote and in-person sales. The strategic advantage lies in orchestrating these channels so that buyers can transition fluidly between them, maintaining momentum and confidence throughout the journey.

The Strategic Imperative of Post-Sale Engagement

Customer-obsessed organizations grow revenue 28% faster than peers, according to Forrester, with higher profitability and retention rates. This reinforces the necessity of marketing and engagement efforts extending beyond the point of sale to ensure adoption, measurable outcomes, and advocacy.

A New GTM Measurement Framework

Traditional lead volume metrics are insufficient. Organizations should track a balanced scorecard including:

  • Pipeline Quality: Opportunities engaging at least four distinct personas within the buying committee.
  • Buyer Enablement Rate: The proportion of deals utilizing interactive tools, targeting the 1.8x conversion uplifts benchmark.
  • Time-to-First-Value (TTFV): Contract start to verified outcome delivery.
  • Net Revenue Retention (NRR): With a focus on marketing-sourced expansion.
  • Experience Consistency Index: Evaluating alignment across all buyer touch points.

In conclusion, the GTM function is no longer a one-directional acquisition engine rather it is an orchestrator of end-to-end customer value. Success in the modern marketplace depends on recognizing the buying journey as a continuous, multi-threaded process driven by data, trust, and collaborative enablement. Organizations that operationalize full-circle customer engagement will not only grow faster but will also achieve greater predictability and resilience in an era where customer relationships are the most valuable currency.
