ICICI Lombard executive director Sanjeev Mantri said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has blurred the line between home and workplace.

“With numerous companies normalising work from home, data is being transcended into the open domain, hence sensitive information is more prone to security vulnerabilities.

“We are excited to partner with Airtel Payments Bank as this tie-up will assert the company’s pledge to provide innovative new-age risk solutions to our customers to prevent cyber-attacks exploding in the era of digital transformation.”
