Prof. Manjesh Kumar Hanawal and me recently conducted an engaging talk and hands-on session at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI), Mumbai on the topic: “Global Challenges for Data Security: The Need for Indigenous Cybersecurity Tools.” During the session, we delved into the pressing challenges in data security and emphasized the importance of building indigenous solutions to strengthen our cybersecurity ecosystem. We also conducted a practical hands-on session on Threat Hunting, equipping participants with skills to proactively identify and mitigate security threats within their systems. It was a great opportunity to interact with budding technologists and contribute to building awareness about robust and secure systems.
