About the Centre

Cyber Security has become a major challenge due to the increased usage of the Internet and Mobile Devices for personal applications and professional activities. Application of Internet of Things in Smart City and Smart Industrial applications have challenged the entire digital system through sophisticated cyber-attacks on the entire IT infrastructures. Many Cyber Frauds and Scams are also on the rise affecting the common man when they start using the digital facilities without proper training and awareness. The cyber threat landscape is also increasing because of the disruptive technologies like AI. To use the electronic devices and the Internet safely and securely to the benefit of the individuals, IT infrastructures must become resilient against the threats and vulnerabilities that are intelligent. Hence, there is a need for application of Artificial Intelligence in developing solutions and handling the threats in an effective manner. Orientation, training, capacity building, and interactions with the leading experts in the domain. Organizing training, workshops, and capacity building programmes to handle and manage the risks are the need of the hour for the younger generation and for Nation Building activities.

Vision

To foster a culture of digital trust and intelligence by equipping the next generation with the knowledge, tools and mindset to combat cyber threats and protect critical assets worldwide.

Mission

Empower learners with hands-on skills, ethical practices and global readiness in cyber security and intelligence.
Drive innovation and research by developing solutions for real-world cyber threats through academic industry collaboration.
Promote awareness and resilience by fostering a culture of digital trust, safety and responsibility in society.

Moto

Where Intelligence Meets Security

Objectives

Provide hands-on training in cyber security tools, ethical hacking and intelligence techniques for students and professionals.
Develop a research driven environment focusing on areas such as threat intelligence, digital forensics, AI in cyber security and cyber defense strategies.
Simulate real-world cyber-attacks through labs and exercises, enabling practical experience in detection, prevention and response.
Promote cyber security awareness among students, educators and the public through workshops, seminars and outreach programs.
Build industry and government collaborations that bridge academic knowledge with real-world applications.
Encourage innovation by supporting student projects, hackathons and competitions in the field of cyber security and intelligence.
Prepare students for global careers by aligning training with internationally recognized standards and certifications.
Uphold ethical responsibility by instilling values of integrity, privacy and trust in all cyber security practices.
