Information Security Education & Awareness
Information security needs have to be addressed at all levels, from the individual user to an organization and beyond to that of the government and the nation. Information Security is becoming synonymous with National Security as Computer Networking, which is vulnerable to cyber attacks, forms the backbone of critical infrastructure of the country banking, power, communication network etc. It is, therefore, important to have secured Computer Systems and Networks. Also, increased focus on outsourcing of IT and other services from developed countries is bringing the issue of data security to the front.
Looking at the growing importance for the Information Security, Department of Information Technology has identified this as a critical area. Information Security Education and Awareness (ISEA) Project was formulated and launched in March 2005 to be implemented over a period of five years (2005-2010). One of the activities under this programme is to widely generate information security awareness to children, home users and non-IT professionals in a planned manner. C-DAC Mohali has been assigned the responsibility of executing this project by Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India. As part of this activity, C-DAC, Mohali has to prepare the Information Security awareness material, coordinate with Participating Institutes (PIs) in organizing the various Information Security awareness events
