The Information Security Education and Awareness (ISEA) Project, now in its Phase III, is a collaboration with MeitY (Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology) aimed at enhancing cybersecurity capabilities across India. The project focuses on four main areas:
1. Cybersecurity Professionals: Training and certifying CISOs and related personnel in 13 knowledge domains, targeting sectors like government, MSMEs, and start-ups.
2. Student Innovation: Encouraging UG/PG students to develop cybersecurity products through boot camps, hackathons, and innovation challenges.
3. Research & Education: Advancing research in areas like network security, cryptography, AI/ML, and more by building labs, introducing new courses, and supporting publications and patents.
4. Cyber Awareness: Promoting mass awareness across all demographics through multimedia resources, workshops, and competitions, with a focus on cyber hygiene and security.
This national initiative is supported by shared infrastructure – CPU/GPU clusters, simulation platforms, a cloud-based network, and the ISEA Virtual Platform (interlinks among resources, content, courses, tools & virtual labs) enhancing collaboration and resource accessibility.
