Introduction
Given the highly publicized incidents of cyber penetration of anything from cars to airplanes in flight, as well as massive break-ins into systems amounting to industrial and strategic espionage, the idea of creating resilient and robust systems is attractive to government, businesses and individuals. Our customer research suggests that people are worried about three things: one the loss of sensitive data, two, the ability to recover from attacks with minimal damage, and three, the consequences of hostile penetration and capture of critical infrastructure.
In particular for India, as the country moves towards the age of Digital India, and more governance takes place via the cyber worlds, the threats to the systems are multiplying. In the current Indian context, it is imperative that we build cyber threat resilient ICT infrastructure for supporting the continued governance and growth of our economy. Research and innovation for the development of imparting cyber threat resilience as a core functionality of critical ICT infrastructure is also being explored internationally. In this context, the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management- Kerala and Steven’s Institute of Technology, USA are jointly conducting the First International Workshop on Cyber Threat Resilience.
The International Workshop on Cyber Threat Resilience aims to bring together Industry leaders, government officials and researchers to provide an international forum for sharing, discussing various issues in cyber threat resilience and formulating strategies for creating a cyber threat resilient world.
The program involves 3 plenary talks, 8 rapid round talks, 3 panel discussions by Indian and international experts from academia, industries and government organizations. The workshop will provide an excellent platform for networking with peers in the cyber security domain.
An International Center for Research and Innovation in Cyber Threat Resilience(CRICTR) will be launched during this workshop.CRICTR aims to do research, innovation, consultancy and training in the broad areas related to the development of cyber threat resilient information technology infrastructure capable of cyber threat prevention, detection and self healing. CRICTR will also provide a platform for providing Consultancy services to Government and Corporate entities in specific knowledge areas related to security. CRICTR research collaborations include participation from several national and international researchers and organizations.
