Educational institutes to churn out cyber-security pros
HYDERABAD: India is emerging as a global IT hub, but several companies are yet to evolve mechanisms to protect their websites from hackers — people trespassing computers — according to Ankit Fadia, the 21-year-old computer whizkid and author of 'The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking' . "I could hack a state-owned bank's website or a government communications website which shows the vulnerability.
Thousands of Indian websites are being hacked each day," he said, after a live demonstration here. According to him, the problem could be addressed, in a large measure, through training an army of professionals in cyber security. This has prompted several organisations to offer courses in this segment to build talent pool.
Fadia was here to announce his association with the Ghaziabad-based Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) for a oneyear diploma course in cyber security programme through distance learning . "India is an IT hub, but lags in cyber security. Students, after completing this course, can be placed in organisations such as IT companies, banks, retail chains and government establishments as cyber-security experts.
