C3iHub was set up under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) in 2020 with funding from the Department of Science and Technology to drive technology development, technology translation, entrepreneurship development, human resource, and skill development on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and associated technologies in the domain of Cybersecurity.

To build a cybersecurity ecosystem, C3iHub focuses on:

• Analyzing security vulnerabilities and developing tools to address them at various levels of system architecture.
• Translating these tools into deployment-ready software.
• Nucleating start-ups developing such tools at scale.
• Partnering with industries within the domain for co-development and technology transfer.
• Training the next generation of cybersecurity researchers.
