Which one for what
The clean decision guide for common Indian B2B scenarios. Pick the row that fits.
Bank or NBFC needing NIC/CERT-In approval
Go Accops. It’s empanelled for government and BFSI workloads that InstaSafe hasn’t targeted.
Still running Citrix or VMware Horizon-style VDI
Go Accops. HyWorks handles the virtual desktop side natively; InstaSafe doesn’t.
Cloud-first team with no legacy apps to protect
Go InstaSafe. Zero hardware, software-only rollout, live in days.
Multi-cloud team spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP
Go InstaSafe. Cloud Access was built for exactly this hand-off.
