IIT
Jodhpur, WhizHack Technologies collaborate to set up CoE
The tie-up will boost
innovations in the field of AI, cyber security and internet of things. Indian
Institute of Technology Jodhpur and WhizHack Technologies have together signed
a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to set up a new centre of excellence (CoE)
that will give a fillip to new innovations in cyber security, artificial
intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT). This collaboration could not
have been better timed as the incidence of hacking and cyber security breaches
have multiplied in recent times. Also, the issue of cyber security and the
significance of artificial intelligence have gained prominence during the
ongoing pandemic, when most companies have their employees working remotely or
from home. Also, in India, shortage of cyber security personnel is reportedly
10 per cent higher than the global average. This CoE will help roll out
advanced scientific and technological products and services IPs that will
safeguard the country’s strategic assets and data pertaining to government
infrastructure, enterprises and digital forensics for police and defence
forces.
