Seminar on Ethical Hacking and Information Security

The biggest global economic downturn since the Great Depression, which has seen many of the largest economies go into officially declared recession, has forced everyone to start thinking of ways of handling the current dire conditions and professionals – including budding professionals like students studying to become Engineers, MBAs, Chartered Accountants etc. – are no exception.

Amrapali Institute has always stressed on providing opportunities for its students and faculty members to enhance their skill-sets and knowledge base beyond the confines of syllabi, since this is crucial in this rapidly evolving modern age. In line with this policy, a workshop on ‘Ethical Hacking and Information Security’ was held in Amrapali Institute on 25th and 26th August 2009. The workshop was jointly organised by Kyrion Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and Techniche, the alumni association of IIT – Guwahati. The workshop was conducted by Mr. Sangeet Chopra and Mr. Tejendra Kalshi of Kyrion Technologies who explained that the workshop has been designed to ensure that participants become aware of the latest trends in the concerned area.

Inaugurating the workshop, Director of Amrapali Institute of Technology and Sciences (AITS), Prof. Ashok Malhotra, drawing on his extensive national and international experience, said that technical knowledge – especially in the field of Information Technology – has been growing and evolving at an unprecedented rate. To move with the times, therefore, he advised computer professionals to constantly enhance their knowledge and skills. He hoped that all the participant, consisting of students and faculty members of B. Tech. and MCA courses of Amrapali Institute, would make the most of this excellent opportunity for self development.
