   e-Suraksha - A Practical Approach on Network Security  
 

Course Objective

Information Technology (IT) has become the nerve center for today's commerce transactions, Government functioning, manufacturing, law &order, high-end research and other strategically important areas such as space and military. Moreover the strategic and privacy value of the information flowing through the computer networks of any organization makes it very important to see that this information is not stolen, tampered or opened to unauthorized access. The security of the inform-ation and the information resources cannot just be entrusted to the technology alone. We need to reach a hybrid solution integrated with human and technology factor into it.

Most of the breaches occur because of the lack of awareness to the user and ignorance of the security mechanisms and policies. Most of the security breaches can be averted if we can c configure our networks and systems with the basic security mechanisms that are built into the software and hardware components such as operating system, web server, router etc. Lack of awareness to these built in security mechanisms or negligence in configuring it results in weak cyber infrastructure prone to host of vicious attacks. In view of the above C-DAC has planned a 5-day training programme for the system administrators to configure their systems with adequate security. The course is designed to focus on both the conceptual and the practical aspects of the security features, which is being organized as part of the Department of Information Technology, Government of India supported project in Network Security.
