IITM Cyber Netrik
Cybersecurity Training for Banking CISOs, CIOs, CTOs and their teams, SOC members, and security practitioners to secure cloud and hybrid environments
In today’s evolving threat landscape, passwords, policies, and passive tools are no longer enough. Cyberattacks are increasingly exploiting cloud identities, automation pipelines, endpoint misconfigurations, and hybrid environments – with devastating consequences.
The Cyber Netrik by IIT Madras is a hands-on, immersive training program designed for senior technology and security leaders in the Banking sector. This is not a classroom lecture – it’s a live-fire simulation environment where you’ll walk through the attacker’s playbook to strengthen your own defense.
