Indian Institute technology (IIT) Jodhpur has announced the launch of Center of Excellence (CoE) in Cyber-Physical System Security in collaboration with WhizHack Technologies. The CoE will create a research infrastructure to develop concepts to detect, predict and mitigate attacks on cyber-physical systems.
WhizHack will build use cases for successful projects with key industry verticals and develop security products for the global market. Projects related to infrastructure, defense and government sectors will be taken up in future.
Under the collaboration, IITs aim to create training programs on cyber-physical systems and market software products and trainings that are made in. India around the world, IITs said.
Professor Shantanu Choudhary, Director, IIT Jodhpur said, “The biggest cyber security challenge facing India, present and in future, is vulnerable attacks on cyber-physical systems including waterways, energy, railways, smart cities, defense and telecommunication networks. We are researching new paradigms in physical system security, and with Whizhack, we aim to produce our research in solving the most complex problems through locally manufactured solutions.”
Kaushik Ray, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO), WhizHack Technologies, “It is building next generation security products to serve the Indian and global markets that take a holistic approach that includes operational technology, Internet of Things (IoT), industrial IoT, and IT security are managed in a coordinated effort, not in silos.”
Pro. Somitra Sanadhya, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, and Professor Deepak Fulwan, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, along with eminent faculty members from several departments of IIT Jodhpur, will be involved in projects under this collaboration. The ultimate objective of IIT Jodhpur’s Center of Excellence in Cyber-Physical System Security is to reduce the attack surface in developing ‘Deception-as-a-Service’ customized for specific industry verticals.
