Why it matters
Industry-academia partnerships are increasingly vital for developing a skilled workforce to combat the growing global threat of cybercrime.
Tata Communications Ltd. (TCL) launched a centre of excellence (CoE) worth Rs. 3.5 crore in cybersecurity and digital forensics at the SASTRA Deemed University, Thanjavur, on the sidelines of the institution’s graduation ceremony on Sunday.
In his convocation address, Ganesh Lakshminarayanan, managing director and chief executive officer of TCL, said: “The transformational role of artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its exploration phase and 80% of the investments made by corporates are yet to see desired returns on investment.”
