Vision

Future communications networks, especially wireless networks, will be more robust, more powerful and more flexible in a wide variety of operating environments, apart from being more vulnerable to cyber hacking resulting in more cyber security crimes. Hence, the urgent need to establish a Cyber Security Research Centre. The research work to be undertaken in the Cyber Security Research Centre and data collected here shall be of great benefit to the entire Research community. We aim at creating a technology rich environment conducive to constructive discussions and evolving thoughts which will lead to innovative ideas in unwiring and digitizing the world securely at affordable costs. The Vision for the RCSRC will to :

1. Aid and advise organizations in cyber security policy enforcements, conduct of security audits and incident handling.

By taking the policy seriously and teaching all of the stakeholders about their role in maintaining it, they will embrace the policy as an integral part of their jobs.

4. Facilitate research work for undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the concerned areas.

5. Disseminate research results through journal and conference publications, technical reports, and public domain software.

6. Create a digital knowledge library in the form of WEB/FTP server consisting of information in the above mentioned areas.
