ISAC, MDI Gurgaon sign pact for building research ecosystem in cybersecurity

In a recent movement, an agreement has been signed by MDI Gurgaon and Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC).  The collaboration aims to enable capacity building for next-generation cybersecurity leaders and policymakers.

The collaboration will also contribute towards bolstering the National Security by protecting the country’s vital Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) and falls in line with the Government’s vigorous Digital India pursuit.

Some of the key objectives of the centre include accelerating R&D, knowledge creation and publications in cybersecurity as well as emerging technology areas such as Smart Cities, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain and Big Data.

Prof. (Dr.) Atmanand, Director (Additional Charge) MDI Gurgaon said, “At MDI Gurgaon, we are committed to developing leading-edge management programs for new-age students to nurture them into thought leaders of tomorrow. We are pleased to enter into an MoU with ISAC – a first-of-its-kind initiative as no B-school has established a Centre on Cyber Security and Emerging Technologies. Our association is a step towards achieving our shared vision of enabling a robust and digitally-secure leadership training ecosystem in the country.”

Gp Capt (retd) Naidu, Director – ISAC, said, “Every organisation is breached; some know it and the others are yet to realize.”
