Hyderabad: Education and health are the two major areas, where information technology will play key role leading to transformation, according to Professor SV Raghavan, principal scientific advisor, Government of India, and the President of India.
The scientific secretary was speaking at the second edition of Infosec-2014, a national conference on information security organised by C-DAC, Hyderabad, in association with School of Information Technology at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University-Hyderabad (JNTU-H) here on Friday.
After releasing the annual magazine on cyber security ‘InfoSec Depot’, Raghvan explained about the components of cyber security and stressed the need to make technologies affordable and suitable for the local environment. “Writing a thesis and sending it to the conference is not the end, you should be able to integrate the knowledge gained in four years of engineering, and come out with innovative ideas that would be helpful to the society,” prof. Raghavan exhorted the students.
Dr Ajay Kumar, joint secretary, department of electronics and Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and IT, stressed that people were not much aware of the implications of cyber-attacks.

There is need to change the internet governance system in the country. Israel has tremendous growth with respect to cyber security. Students should come up with innovative ideas and new start-ups technology that would help in building strong cyber security,” said Ajay Kumar.
