IIT BBS signs MoU with Whizhack on cyber security

Saturday, 02 September 2023 | PNS | BHUBANESWAR

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar signed an MoU with Gurgaon-based Whizhack Technologies Private Limited in the field of cyber security on Thursday. Whizhack Technologies is a leading vertically integrated cyber security company.

The MoU will help in establishing a research and development ecosystem at IIT Bhubaneswar for cyber security products and solutions, skilling and knowledge transfer, laboratory development and establishing a Cyber Security Centre of Excellence.

On behalf of IIT Bhubaneswar, Prof Dinakar Pasla, Dean, Sponsored Research and Industrial Consultancy (SRIC); and on behalf of Whizhack Technologies, Kaushik Ray, Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer, signed the MoU.

Prof Pasla said the strategic collaboration with Whizhack Technologies would promote National Cyber Security Mission towards developing indigenous cyber defence solutions for various safety critical infrastructure and application platforms.

“A Centre of Excellence will be established in the area of Cyber Physical Systems Security at IIT Bhubaneswar that will pursue research and development, training and knowledge transfer in cyber security, Artificial Intelligence and Block Chain”, he added.

 

Kaushik Ray from Whizhack Technologies opined, “Given the dearth in India’s cyber security workforce, the burgeoning security breaches, and Government’s priority to strengthen India’s cyber security resource, this collaboration comes at a pertinent time. This centre of excellence will be set up for the purpose of advancing scientific and technological products and services IPs for protecting assets of India’s strategic importance like government infrastructure and enterprises.”
