WELCOME!


As from the name of the blog itself, it is evident that it is pertaining to security, yes it is, to be more specific it is concerned with cyber security. Not only it deals with the general aspect of cyber security and its allied concepts, this blog is dedicated to innovation, research and development in cyber security. Well even if you are a beginner in a computer world, this is for you, right from the basics(check out the next post). If you are a professional just started with a developers job, why not practice and enhance your coding skills in a secure coding perspective. Yes! you would be gaining that extra edge over your contemporaries.
Well, why here "innovation, research and development" is being emphasized?. We will eat this in pieces.

Why Innovation?

Before embarking upon this, lets clear the difference between an invention and an innovation.

1) Invention : Invention is the "creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time. For ex:- Thomas Edison was an inventor.

2) Innovation : Innovation happens when someone improves on or enhances the existing invention or makes a significant contribution to the existing invention.


PLEASE CHECK THE TABS BELOW THE TITLE OF THE BLOG TO ACCESS THE MAJORITY OF THE CONTENT. NEW CONTENT IS ADDED UNDER EACH OF THOSE SECTIONS. THIS IS SOLELY A WELCOME PAGE.

Coming back, well everything around us is mostly an invention or an innovation. We use those android's on a super-smart phone. Wait, it is an innovation out of the one created by Alexander Graham Bell. Innovation has helped society to develop itself even in its day-to-day activities. It is majorly providing the human being with more convenience. Just tap on that iphone app, your car opens the door for you!!!. Innovation was, is and will definitely advance and aid human in its adventurous journey called life despite used in any field. Why not deploy this in computer security, can it be?, definitely. It is certainly disheartening and disappointing to know that, still in some prestigious institutions, you will find only a handful of innovators. Out of those in a class of 60, many do have the hidden potential and the talent to make a big difference to the industry, but due to the lack of proper resources, guidance,everything gets rusted over the years.Well, this what is being targeted here. This blog will have a dedicated section for such innovators,be it any field. Post your ideas, discuss about them thoroughly, ask for help. provide help, get to know about the new competitions, new people, talks, conferences, etc, all at one place. Interesting?, excited to begin? Wait, you can also post about your patents, get involved in interesting discussions, get prospects for your patents,etc. Find everything in a dedicated section "Innovation" on this blog. 


Why research?

As there is no profound enthusiasm,resources for innovation, there is, reasonably, no interest for research among the students in India. But you will find some of them, with a will to work as a researcher, but going astray, obviously, due to a prevailing dearth of a research expert, useful utilities. Hence, I take this platform to call all budding researchers, to use this place for throwing themselves and gaining those gems in their research adventures. Majority of students in India, though equipped with sharp skills, lose them, when it comes to pursue a course where research is sidelined in most of the aspects.Why not a make a contribution in research ?. Find out more about it in the "Research in Cyber security" section.Check the section to the right of this page.



Throughout my discussions with my friends, and other acquaintances, I can conclude that, people find it difficult when it comes to securing their computers( searching for the right AntiVirus, installing it, hardware issues(pen drives,etc), etc). Feel free!, you can contact me(find contact details at the end of this page) while facing any difficulty, explain your problem, I ll put in my best effort to find a solution for you, give you additional suggestions, useful reviews, and any more aid. Thinking about any charges I would be asking for?, please dont. All this would be free and nothing else!.

This initiative is in a nascent stage. You can throw your bricks and bouquets in any way you wish.

I really thank you for your time!
