Dell Technologies to Promote Cybersecurity Ecosystem in Karnataka with Centre of Excellence for Cybersecurity

CySecK, the Government of Karnataka’s Centre of Excellence for Cybersecurity, the nodal agency to promote a cyber-safe and conducive environment for industry collaboration, has partnered with Dell Technologies India to strengthen cyber-security in Karnataka. This collaboration aims to provide a safe and secure digital environment for students, start-ups, the state government, and other stakeholders.

As part of this collaboration, Dell Technologies will roll out interactive courses on cyber hygiene best practices for school students, which will also be available in Kannada, under its ‘Tech for Social Good’ initiative. These programs will also be designed for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as government functionaries.

Dell Technologies’ ‘ASCEND’ program will provide tech mentorship and bundled solutions to CySecK’s cohort of start-ups, allowing them to gain relevant exposure and assistance on a variety of topics, including go-to-market strategies and appropriate value additions to the products/services to be offered, thereby promoting their scalability. The initiative will also involve ‘Tech Teardown’ sessions in which Dell Technologies specialists will meet with select start-ups one-on-one to help them develop a technology and cyber security roadmap for business efficiency.

Dell Technologies will also collaborate with CySecK to increase the state’s ‘Cyber Recovery’ maturity for both the private and public sectors.

Dell Technologies also intends to explore thought leadership through CySecK, which is focused on establishing a safe and trustworthy environment that decreases systemic risk while boosting supply chain ecosystem security. Dell Technologies intends to host webinars and knowledge sharing series conducted by subject experts on innovation, technology trends, and efficient digital infrastructure, with the goal of delivering cutting-edge technological guidance solutions and strengthening the state’s cybersecurity preparation.
