National e-Governance Division (NeGD), under its Capacity Building scheme, is organising the 38th batch of CISO Deep-Dive training programme, from July 24 to 28, at the Central Academy for Police Training (CAPT), Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
The course has been inaugurated with 23 participants from Madhya Pradesh, Tripura, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Odisha, Kerala, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh.
The purpose of the programme is to spread awareness, build capacity among government officials and enable government departments to develop a cyber resilient ecosystem. This programme aims to sensitize and orient participants on cybersecurity related issues.
Launched in 2018, the CISO training is the first-of-its-kind of partnership between the Government and industry consortium under Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. Since June 2018 until July 2023, NeGD has efficaciously conducted 38 batches of CISO deep-dive training programmes for over 1,464 CISOs and frontline IT officials.
Cyber Surakshit Bharat initiative of MeitY was conceptualised with the mission to spread awareness about cybercrime and build capacities of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and frontline IT officials, across all government departments, for ensuring adequate safety measures to combat the growing menace of cybercrime.
The idea is to enable government departments to be ready to defend their digital infrastructures and become ready to contribute in the development of a Cyber Surakshit Bharat.
