THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Underlining the importance of cyber security in the
coming days, A S Kiran Kumar, chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO), said here on Thursday that ethical hacking should be integrated to
every organisation’s information system to counter security threats.
Kiran Kumar was speaking after inaugurating a two-day seminar on
‘Computers and Information Technology (ISCIT-2015)’ organised by ISRO at
the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC). While embracing latest
technologies, the importance of cyber security increases manifold. The
integration of ethical hacking into the system is essential to proactively
counter security threats in the increasingly unsafe cyber world, he said.
Guiding fishermen to better fishing grounds or issuing instructions to
orbiting spacecraft, computers powered by the latest IT tools have proved
to be the backbone of space research and application across the globe,
Kiran Kumar said. Adopting latest technologies is the key to success.
Sharing computing services through cloud computing and enhancing
performance by quantum computing will get more thrust in the coming days,
he said.
Delivering the keynote address, R Narayanan, former vice- president of
Tata Consultancy Services, lauded ISRO’s peer review mechanism, its way of
looking at a problem from multiple angles, the preference of an optimal
solution over the ideal one and the space organisation’s ability to
analyse a problem.
