CSE Dept conducts workshop on Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking

The Department of CSE provides practical knowledge of core cybersecurity concepts and real-world attack and defense techniques while keeping students up to date with the latest industry developments.

With the aim of providing students with practical exposure to core cybersecurity concepts and real-world attack and defense strategies, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering organized a One-Day Workshop on Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking on 20 February 2026. The program enabled students to understand current industry practices and emerging technological trends in the field of cybersecurity. The session was conducted by Mr. Abhimel (Lead Security Engineer at Cozmek Private Ltd, Kochi, Kerala). Notably, cybersecurity as a domain achieved 50th rank globally out of 200 as a Cybersecurity Creator.

The workshop aimed to provide students with practical exposure to core cybersecurity concepts and real-world attack and defense strategies. The technical session focused on three key domains in computing and information technology:

1. Linux Fundamentals – Understanding system architecture and operating systems.

2. Web Application Development – Exploring web app structures and identifying vulnerabilities.

3. The Future of Cybersecurity with AI – Insights into AI-driven security solutions and emerging trends.

These sessions equipped participants with a strong foundational knowledge and practical insights into cybersecurity. The program also enhanced students’ awareness of current industry practices and future technological advancements. Feedback from participants indicated that they gained both theoretical understanding and hands-on knowledge of critical areas in technology.
