NALSAR to conduct Hague Indian Cybersecurity school

Hyderabad: The NALSAR University of Law will conduct the 2nd Edition of the Hague India Cybersecurity Summer School. It is being organised jointly by "Hyderabad Security Cluster" and Europe's largest Cyber Security Cluster called the "Hague Security Delta".

According to University Registrar Prof V Balakista Reddy, the programme is an initiative of the State government from June 3 to 7, this year.

Cybersecurity is too often thought of as merely a technological issue when in reality fighting cyberthreats requires a broad-based approach that includes law, economics, international relations and many other disciplines as well.

From the growing threats of cyberattacks to a lack of practitioners qualified to handle cyber-related issues, it is found that cybersecurity for legal professionals is an area ripe for future growth and points to the need to educate and train both current and future attorneys.

It was against this backdrop that the Hyderabad Security Cluster (HSC) is a critical and influential collaboration that follows the 'TRIPLE HELIX MODEL' of academia, industry and Government partnership. It brings together security agencies of national and international importance, governments, research and knowledge institutions, cybersecurity businesses and all relevant stakeholders onto one platform, he said.

In continuation to the last Summer School that was hosted for five days in July 2018 and the success achieved, it was decided that HSC & HSD organise the 2nd Edition of The Hague India Cyber Security Summer School.

The Summer School will take place in both The Hague and India -- in the cities of Hyderabad and Bangalore. Partners such as NALSAR University of Law, the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad, Engineering Staff College of India, Hyderabad Security Cluster, Verizon, Symantec, Checkpoint, E2Labs, TU Delft, The Hague Security Delta, the Municipality of The Hague, and The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies will facilitate the exchange of knowledge between these two countries leading the way in cybersecurity.

The Summer School's five-day program will enlighten the participants on the cutting edge cyber security developments and allow participants to gain deeper knowledge and understanding of cyber security concepts and aspects.
