Hyderabad, IndiaThe Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) has unveiled an Advanced Certification Program in Cyber Security and Cyber Defense in collaboration with TalentSprint.
IIT Kanpur, founded in 1959, is broadly acknowledged as a worldwide pioneer in computer science research and education. Most recently, IIT Kanpur has taken the lead in cyber security by establishing the Interdisciplinary Centre for Cyber Security and Cyber Defence of Critical Infrastructures (C3i). The objective of C3i is research, education, and training, and also spawn startups to create technological fortifications to safeguard vital national infrastructure. The centre works with other worldwide centres of brilliance and is poised to become a global leader in cyber security. Giving his opinion at the event , Dr. Manindra Agrawal, Program Director and Professor of Computer Science at IIT Kanpur, stated: "It is estimated that there will be roughly 200 billion connected devices by 2020. Rapid convergence of Mobility, Internet of Things and Cloud Computing is leading to an explosive increase in security threats and the need for Cyber Defense experts to combat these threats is becoming all the more important. Our program will leverage the deep research capabilities of C3i to arm technology professionals with the right expertise to counter a wide range of emerging threats and vulnerabilities.” Dr. Santanu Paul, Co-Founder and CEO of TalentSprint, remarked: “We are delighted to partner with IIT Kanpur on a mission to create Cyber Security experts. The demand for such professionals is outstripping supply. Companies need sophisticated responders to defend against the growing threat of cyberattacks. There is a huge talent crunch and 59% of the companies have vacant positions suggesting a cumulative global shortfall of 1.5 million such professionals.” As revealed by NASSCOM, India’s cyber security market is anticipated to grow to $35 billion by 2025. This 6-month Advanced Certification Program in Cyber Security and Cyber Defense will be delivered in an executive-friendly format with immersion bootcamps at the IIT Kanpur campus, backed by live online interactive sessions through the TalentSprint digital platform. Program participants will also get direct exposure to C3i and its research technology during their visits to IIT Kanpur.
