About Virtual Colloquium on Cyber-Security (VCCS-2020):
VCCS-2020 is the seminar series by the global experts to deal with the cutting edge concerns of the Cybersecurity organised by the IEEE AcSIR CSIO Nanotechnology Student Branch Chapter in collaboration with the IEEE AcSIR CSIO Student Branch, Chandigarh.
Cybersecurity is a framework of technologies, procedures, protocols, and practices designed to protect devices, networks, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. Sometimes, Cybersecurity also referred to as information technology security. In VCCS-2020, we are introducing how important cybersecurity is for the government, industrial sectors, communications, and how important the protection of unprecedented amounts of data on computers and other devices. In this colloquium, experts will also discuss the various career and research opportunities in this field.
