3. WHAT IS?
 Cybersecurity is a branch of information security that is
concerned with protecting digital assets i.e. everything
from networks to hardware and information that is
processed, stored and transported by inter-networked
information systems.
 It thus focusses on protecting systems, networks,
computers and digital data, from unauthorized access
(intentional and unintentional), modification.

4. OBJECTIVE OF CYBERSECURITY TRACK:
 Due to the current digital evolution, every industry quickly
adopting the digital infrastructure.
 Consequently, cybercrime by malicious actors (Red-hat hackers)
is on the rise.
 Intention is Data breaches. Data breaches destroy company’s
reputations and causes Denial of services to clients of
revenue=loss .
 Reports by IBM, that 1M attacks happen daily. Cybersecurity is a
great concern. yet there is inadequate cybersecurity
practitioners.
 The cybersecurity Track is working towards bridging this skills
gap by building exceptional industry-sought skills for defense
against digital dark arts.

5. HOW WE DO IT:
With the assistance of industrial experts, we have
Developed:
 A Cybersecurity Roadmap that guarantees skills-build from
beginner to intermediate level.
 Organized Peer-to-peer Mentorship programs.
 Weekly Meet-ups for hands-on skill development.
 Occasional Networking sessions with cybersecurity industrial
experts.
 Playing CTFs to simulate real-life cybersecurity incidences.

6. Where are we set to begin?
 We begin on 25th of September by onboarding all Student members interested
in cybersecsurity into the track
 On 8th with a great session on the overview to cybersecurity  -a great
starting point for every beginner.
 On 15th of October we have a meetup with the cybersecurity with experts
already working in the industry. We will explore all the careers in
cybersecurity.
 In the subsequent weeks we will be laying the foundation by looking at the
cybersecurity essentials/pre-requiusites: networking essentials, OS
essentials(Windows & Linux ), JavaScript essentials, HTML/CSS essentials, n
React.js/PHP essentials coding essentials.
 After the foundation is laid we will begin diving deep into various domains of
Cybersecurity: web/mobile app security, API security, cyber-physical security,
IOT security, Network security, Host Security.
