New Delhi, Oct 10 (KNN) With some 44 million small and medium enterprises in the country even if five per cent of them require cyber security personnel of one each the requirement would go up by many factors, MD and CEO, National Skill Development Corporation, Dilip Chenoy said.
Over five lakh jobs in cyber security are opening up while there are hardly 2,000 trained for this job, business chamber ASSOCHAM said at a workshop on “Cyber and Network security” organized here yesterday.
He said this was an underestimate….”With some 44 million small and medium enterprises in the country even if five per cent of them require cyber security personnel of one each the requirement would go up by many factors. The NSDC was holding a stakeholders dialogue on this issue of security personnel embedded in enterprises and create a job map”.
“We need cyber security personnel even schools” he pointed out.
With the kind of threat to the computer systems from various quarters that are emerging, “we need 100 per cent competency standards in the area”, Chenoy pointed out calling for new standards to be established to make networks attack proof.
On the type of attacks on networks, two academics, Professor Prabaharan from Amrita University and Anupam Joshi, Director, UMBC Centre for Cyber Security and Cyber Scholars Programme explained how “sophisticated attackers were launching multi-step attacks”.
Meanwhile, chief security officer, Huawei Telecommunication India, Debu Nayak, assured that the upcoming 4G Mobile Broadband Network in this country was being secured against multiple cyber-attacks and his company that is spending as much as 600 million dollars in research on cyber security was working on 5G Mobile Broadband Network also to secure it against such attacks.
Next generation firewall would secure the 4G network with “every part of Huawei and every person getting included in the company’s “built-in strategy”. Cloud specific security framework was also being provided for 4G Cloud. (KNN Bureau)
