The topics covered included: The workshop covered various types of cyber-attacks such as spyware, viruses, ransomware, and worms known as malware; phishing, spoofing, backdoor trojan, password attacks, IoT attacks, and cryptojacking. Participants were sensitised to use strong passwords, update software, exercise caution before clicking on links from unknown sources, enable multi-factor authentication, and other “cyber hygiene” measures.
During the event, Unified Voice Communication announced a significant partnership with VTF University, USA-a nonprofit organisation dedicated to advancing cybersecurity education globally. Under this collaboration, Unified Voice Communication has been appointed as the program’s representative and subject matter expert in India. This partnership will enable the delivery of specialized certification programs, workshops, and interactive training sessions in cybersecurity, further enhancing professional education for Indian IT professionals.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Krishnan Nagarajan, Director, said that taking strong cybersecurity measures provide a wide range of benefits for organisations such as: protection of sensitive data, prevention of financial loss, business continuity, enhanced reputation, rapid incident response, increased customer trust, and compliance with regulations.
