Cybersecurity Awareness Month, every October, is a collaboration between government and private
industry to raise awareness about digital security and empower everyone to protect their personal data
from digital forms of crime. The month is dedicated to creating resources and communications for
organizations to talk to their employees and customers about staying safe online.
Now in its 19th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact co-led
by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) with the
On 1st October 2022, we Team Matrix of Symbiosis Centre for Information Technology organized our
flagship event, "Cyber Security Awareness Month (CSAM)." The CSAM theme for this year is "Cyber GPS
(Guide, Protect and Secure) - Let's navigate the internet together."
About the theme:
This year's CSAM theme Cyber G.P.S (Guide. Protect. Secure) aims to prepare everyone for taking
proactive measures to safeguard their data and safely navigate through the internet.
Today's industry cannot approach cybersecurity in the same way as it used to do a few years ago.
There are much too many devices and related difficulties. Consider keeping track of security alerts for
millions of internationally connected devices. IIoT devices lack the computational capacity necessary to
run security solutions due to their low computing power.
AI and machine learning are useful in this situation. In the absence of security teams, ML can fill the
gap. In the course of processing a lot of data, AI can assist in locating devices and hidden patterns. ML
can assist in keeping track of incoming and outgoing traffic to look for any irregularities in the IoT
ecosystem's behavior.
Keynote Topic:"Defining the Convergence of Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security"
which will be focus on how Artificial Intelligence and Cyber security can converge on broader perspective
we shall highlight the importance of emergence of Artificial Intelligence, how it can be used as a weapon,
and as a tool in cyber security defense.
