Cyber awareness program

CYBER AWARENESS PROGRAM

Cyber security is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorized access.

Ensuring cybersecurity requires coordinated efforts throughout an information system. Elements of cybersecurity include:

Application security Information security Network security Disaster recovery / business continuity planning Operational security End-user education

Application security encompasses measures taken throughout the code's life-cycle to prevent gaps in the security policy of an application or the underlying system (vulnerabilities) through flaws in the design, development, deployment, upgrade, or maintenance or database of the application.

The state of being protected against the unauthorized use of information, especially electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this."the growing use of mobile applications is posing a risk to information security"

Network security consists of the policies and practices adopted to prevent and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network administrator.

Disaster recovery (DR) involves a set of policies and procedures to enable therecovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster.

Operations Security, or OPSEC, is the process by which we protect unclassified information that can be used against us. OPSEC challenges us to look at ourselves through the eyes of an adversary (individuals, groups, countries, organizations).

End-user educationEducating the end user and eliminating the biggest security risk

One of the most problematic elements of cybersecurity is the quickly and constantly evolving nature of security risks. The traditional approach has been to focus most resources on the most crucial system components and protect against the biggest known threats, which necessitated leaving some less important system components undefended and some less dangerous risks not protected against.

Avanzo Trust is an organization based in Kerala, India specialized in cyber laws and cyber securities solutions with nearly 7 years of experience. We have taken this initiative in the context of increasing criminal activities and deceits using the wide reach of cyber world following the proliferation of broadband and subsequent use of internet over cell phones as well as other web enabled equipment all over the country.

Our campaign for prevention of cyber-crimes intends to give guidelines in handling issues related to the misuse of cell phones and internet.

 We at Avanzo are dedicated to educate the general public especially the adolescent and youth the possible vulnerabilities in the usage of mobile phones, internet and social networking sites.

The trust is the brain child of Dr. Pattathil Dhanya Menon, a cyber crime investigator by profession and managing trustee of the same. She is the first woman participant in international cybercrime seminars from India and has won accolades for presenting the paper “Human rights in cyber space”. 

CAP envisages a specially designed course for the students in India keeping in mind the aim of cyber awareness from a very tender age.The program modules are developed in such a way that the learning is imbibed through activities. By creating a set of modules, the program will work with school teachers and students through in-service training in schools.

This training is in order to develop educational techniques and resources that will enable the new generation to make use of technology with a constructive, ethical, empathetic and sensitive vision.

CAP CYBER AWARENESS PROGRAMWe at AVANZO Strongly believe that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE and so an awareness program in schools named as Cyber Awareness Program (CAP) is introduced for schools across the country..
