SDMIMD hosted a special guest lecture on Cybersecurity at its campus. The session was delivered by Dr. Ravichandra Kulkarni, Dean of Research and Development and Head of the Department of Cybersecurity at MIT Mysuru.
The lecture primarily focused on cybersecurity issues in business processes. Dr. Kulkarni highlighted the various types of cybersecurity threats and explained the precautionary measures organizations must adopt to safeguard themselves.
“Awareness of cybersecurity is the first step in preventing cyber scams. Understanding different types of threats and following best security practices can significantly reduce the risk of cybercrimes,” he emphasized.
He also presented statistics on cyber threats, scams, and victims, pointing out that these crimes are driven by multiple motives. Addressing the challenges of the digital era, Dr. Kulkarni noted that evolving technologies and the growing remote work culture have intensified risks, making the role of cyber law enforcement even more critical.
However, he suggested that proper policy development, robust risk management, and effective incident response planning can help organizations build stronger and more secure systems.
