The session, held on May 15th, 2024, saw enthusiastic participation from professionals, employees, incumbents representing various Government Ministries, Divisions & Attached Departments, alongside students from different universities, academia, and cyber security enthusiasts.
Dr. Haider Abbas (TI), Director General of NCERT, spearheaded the session, delivering a comprehensive discourse on Audit & Compliance within the broader context of Cybersecurity and Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). Dr. Abbas illuminated every facet of auditing and compliance, providing invaluable insights into bolstering the cyber resilience of organizational frameworks.
A key highlight of the session was Dr. Abbas’s advocacy for a symbiotic association between governmental bodies and academia. He proposed a groundbreaking initiative where government departments and organizations could engage groups of university students in conducting thorough audits of their digital infrastructure. This collaborative approach not only provides practical and professional development opportunities for students but also serves as a valuable contribution to their academic pursuits, potentially enhancing their overall academic performance. Moreover, this initiative is poised to significantly fortify the cybersecurity posture of government organizations, aligning with the national imperative of safeguarding the cyber landscape.
