(A Practical Approach in Network Security)

A Secured Network
Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)

in association with
Department of Electronics and Information Technology

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 t he 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 information 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 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.

 

About C-DAC

Established in March 1988, as a Scientific Society of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (formerly The Department of Electronics), Government of India, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), is primarily an R & D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of advanced electronics and Information Technology (IT) based solutions including a range of high performance parallel computers known by the PARAM series. C-DAC, Hyderabad centre is involved in the research activities in the areas of e-Security, e-Learning, Supply chain Management, open source software, VLSI and embedded systems design.

C-DAC through its various centres, including Hyderabad, is focussing on developing e-Security solutions in different areas like VPN solutions, end systems security, IDS, OS-level security etc.

Currently Hyderabad Centre is involved in the design and development of network security solutions for Windows & Linux environments.

The objective of the security concept lab which is established at C-DAC, Hyderabad is to develop, test, train and demonstrate various network security tools and technologies. It provides an environment for users from different organizations to learn practical aspects of network security. In this lab users can simulate their network environment to study the security problems and the effect of various security solutions. Currently the lab is equipped with various operating system flavors such as Windows, Linux, UNIX and HP-UNIX and commercial as well as open source security tools.
