DEPARTMENT OF CYBER SECURITY

An Engineering Degree on Cyber Security course has been started at Shridevi Institute of Engineering and Technology in the year 2024.The newly started Department contains dynamic energetic faculty members who possess the skills needed to train the students with not only the latest technologies and tools but also make them aware of the current problems facing the world.

Graduates of this course will gain cross-disciplinary expertise in AI, Data Analytics, Deep Learning, Data Security and blockchain technologies. They get equipped to address complex security challenges and innovate in the ever-evolving landscape of Cyber Security.

OUR VISION

To empower engineering students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in cyber security, fostering a generation of ethical, innovative and technically proficient professionals capable of securing digital infrastructures and contributing to a safer cyber world.

OUR MISSION

• To cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills through simulation of real world applications and attack-defence scenario.
• To promote ethical practices and a strong understanding of cyber laws, data privacy and responsible digital behavior.
• To prepare students for industry certifications and career in cyber security through mentorship, research and continuous learning.
• To encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and a proactive approach to addressing emerging cyber threats.

The primary need for this course is due to the increasing reliance on digital systems and the internet across all sectors. With rising cyber threats such as hacking, databreaches,ransomware and identity theft, engineers must be equipped with the knowledge to protect systems and information. As future technology developers, engineering students should understand the manner of designing secure software, hardware and networks from the ground level. Cyber security awareness also helps prevent unintentional vulnerabilities caused bypoor coding practices or system misconfigurations. The course fosters a mindset that gives the highest priority to security. It encourages ethical behavior and responsible digital citizenship.

A range of career opportunities are available in this demanding field. They include roles like security analyst, ethical hacking and information security operations.Understanding cyber laws, data protection regulations, and compliance standards is also critical for modern engineers. Ultimately, a cyber security course builds a foundation for creating safer digital environments in an increasingly connected world.Graduates excel in positions that demand strategic problem-solving, technical expertise and critical thinking. They may safeguard organizations against cyber threats, design secure networks, investigate digital crimes and develop robust security protocols. Additionally, opportunities exist in emerging areas such as cloud security, IoT security and Artificial intelligence-driven threat detection. The dynamic nature of cybersecurity equips graduates to thrive in dynamic competitive environments across industries.
