The cybersecurity landscape has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Today, it’s an indispensable component for businesses across all sectors. As the threat landscape expands, organizations demand comprehensive solutions that address both operational needs and strategic guidance.
Recognizing this critical business imperative, Gateway Group of Companies has introduced a specialized brand dedicated to empowering organizations in their cybersecurity journey. By offering tailored solutions that balance security, budget, and business objectives, the company is positioned to be a trusted partner in navigating the complex cyber threat landscape.
Under the leadership of Indrajeet Mitra, Co-founder of Gateway Group of Companies and CEO of G’Secure Labs, it offers specialized solutions and services in various industries and geographies, drawing on extensive experience and expertise.
Worldwide Expansion
Gateway Group of Companies’ journey into cyber security began in 1997, around two decades ago, as a Software Engineering and Consulting company. It started with the introduction of global security products to India, including real-time encryption products for laptop data. The company later expanded its portfolio to include innovative products like switches, tokens, and anti-virus solutions. In the span of three decades, the company has grown to over five development centres worldwide, serving customers in more than 30 countries across five continents.
Initially focused on network security products, the company evolved into a consulting partner. This evolution culminated in its current form as a comprehensive cyber security and network security firm, G’Secure Labs. G’Secure Labs (GSL), a Gateway Group company, has over ten years of global experience in providing information security and cyber security consulting services to more than 100 clients across diverse industries. It specializes in next-gen Managed Detection & Response (MDR) services, offering comprehensive protection against various cyber threats and redefining cyber security outcomes. As an ISO 27001:2013 certified company, it ensures absolute compliance in establishing and managing an Information Security Management System.

GSL strives hard to deliver tangible and measurable business value to its global clients, entrenching it across all its strategic initiatives and brands. The guiding values and principles are constant across all enterprises—building an environment that integrates cutting-edge technologies, scalable infrastructure and culture across global offices. Moreover, the amalgamation of intelligent technologies and Automated Response systems creates a rapid, precise and all-inclusive shield to guard against cybersecurity breaches.
Additionally, with its wide experience, GSL seamlessly adapts to the rapidly changing threat landscape, providing well-proven cyber security services. Especially its skilled and motivated task force applies the latest technologies with the most suitable cybersecurity practices to yield comprehensive solutions and services in the most critical business areas.
Catering to Industry Trends
Adaptability is a predominant character in businesses, and GSL’s cyber security strategy has stepped up in the recent past to cater to this adaption process. Deploying state-of-the-art security products to add 24×7 monitoring enables organizations to detect and respond to threats promptly, comply with regulatory requirements, manage risks, protect sensitive data, ensure operational continuity, and continuously improve their security measures. This has been GSL’s prime focus in services that add to the technologies used by clients to safeguard their digital ecosystem.
Moreover, the company serves its clients with optimal security solutions and services, keeping a vigilant track of the trends and patterns observed in the field of cyber security. From deploying hardware switches to implementing complete cyber security and IoT security solutions, its growth quotient has exponentially increased over time. In order to stay relevant, GSL has two SOCs (Security Operation Centres) with the necessary team structures – L1 (manages big crashes, does root analysis, etc.), L2 (performs surveillance and passes threats to L1) and L3 (performs basic identification and routine work). One of the SOCs is in India, and the other is in Europe.
Steering the Wheel
GSL’s pillars have long encouraged and nourished ideas, people, and projects across multiple geographies. Its leadership team believes in consistently delivering resourceful, competent, and cost-effective business solutions by carving an encouraging and happy workplace for its workforce. Its brilliant leader, Indrajeet, has been steering the company’s strategic direction and development via continual technological innovation.
He leads a robust team of multi-skilled security experts. His leadership qualities and technological niche bring in the much-needed finesse and motivation to craft innovative information and cyber security solutions for multi-faceted industry segments. He ensures complete adherence to the latest industry standards, regulatory frameworks and software development best practices.
Moreover, the founding principles of leadership, integrity and commitment, topped up with the entrepreneurial genome and brilliance, are the key USPs that turned out to be GSL’s development strategies. The company leaves no stone unturned in facilitating its teams with the best of technology learning and knowledge transfer through certifications, master classes, and participation in events. Its competence in delegating responsibilities has empowered its teams to keep up their spirit for learning and perfection.
Adhering to Innovation and Operational Efficiency
GSL strives to offer measurable business value in every customer engagement, guaranteeing enhanced flexibility and quicker time to market, developing unconventional technical expertise, and optimizing cost benefits for customers. The company has enhanced its operational efficacy through its geographical presence and access to SOCs across all time zones, with adherence to EU GDPR, ensuring 24×7 support.
Moreover, the optimization of the talent pool and the right mix of technology experts at GSL has empowered the company to cater to varied needs and also remain efficient while doing so. The key parameters that play a vital role in staying a step ahead of the rest are a 360-degree approach towards cyber security services, an industry-based approach, a cross-functional team of security experts, rapid detection and response mechanisms and a consolidated view of the entire security spectrum.
Maintaining Low Carbon Footprint
G’Secure Labs is committed to maintaining sustainable operations and supporting a low carbon footprint for itself and its clients. The company attempts to reduce its energy consumption and environmental impact by using energy-efficient technologies and optimizing data centres. It also promotes remote work and virtual meetings, minimizing travel-related emissions.
Moreover, expanding into other countries ensures the provision of services at the doorstep of clients with a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, the company takes the initiative to advise its clients on implementing green IT practices, such as server virtualization and cloud computing. It also promotes alternative carbon-neutral energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint further.
Technical Avenues
Technology is a crucial part of the current business industry, and as a group, G’Secure Labs has always embraced new technologies and adapted them to increase efficiency in serving clients. For their help, the company has a well-balanced army of skilled software and cyber security experts who understand the overall technical landscape and challenges that come with it.
It also has an adept team segregation technique. Designated red, blue, and purple security teams are in charge of simulating cyber-attacks and corresponding responses to check the readiness of the organization’s cybersecurity measures. The red team performs the simulation, the blue team defends the organization, and the purple team acts as a mix of both.
Additionally, the team indulges in a variety of technical and business avenues like partnerships with threat intelligence and threat research companies, reading the overall shift in technologies and their adoptions, inputs from business and technology partners and more. Furthermore, partnership programs at G’Secure Labs offer incentives to partners without any extra operational investment.
The Learning & Development department ensures that all the teams upskill and keep up with the latest certifications and policies. Moreover, extensive training and certification programs help security experts stay competitive.

Gateway, as a learning organization, nurtures intrapreneurial zeal amongst its employees and, in turn, ensures their self-empowerment. A ‘strengths ’-based approach towards them further enhances their levels of engagement and productivity, facilitating a continually cultivated cultural alignment with the organization.
To monitor its employees’ professional growth, the company empowers them with high-end training and exposure to cutting-edge technologies. Their wishes and comfort are of prime importance, and thus, the company maintains a happy and growing workplace.

In a very short period, it deployed desktops and other required hardware to employee locations, providing continuous network facilities for no downtime.
Success and Beyond

The company foresees an agile and scalable control of the digital ecosystem with proactive risk management and regulatory compliance, leading to increased ROI and brand recognition.
