Centre for Cyber Security

In collaboration with Quick Heal Technologies

Quantum University has instituted a Centre for Cyber Security to train the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. This state-of-the-art facility has been set up in collaboration with Quick Heal Technologies. The center offers a unique Honors Program in Computer Science, enabling the students to add an edge to their regular computer expertise. Consequently, it prepares an industry-ready workforce to tackle the tasks of a highly demanding field essential to the computer technologies of our age. The experts from Quick Heal, along with the Quantum technocrats, have molded this new age curriculum.

Cybersecurity refers to a number of practices and techniques combined with technological know-how to ensure computer safety. This is important as more and more resources in computer technology are being dispensed with the aid of Internet services. The popularity of social media, cloud services, and data sharing platforms is growing by the day. All these developments that are aimed at benefiting the user are being manipulated by criminals, cyber terrorists, and other unscrupulous elements, manipulating software, hardware, and information resources to propagate malicious economic or political agendas.

The program bears the hallmark of Quantum Quest for “Outcome-Based Learning.” This new approach to learning encourages students to learn so that they can perform some core tasks as an expression of the newly acquired knowledge. As such, Quantum students have designed all-terrain vehicles, constructed steel bridges, produced computer animations, and harnessed solar energy to race. Our engineers don’t just learn theory – they expand upon it and apply it.

This has been achieved by focusing on hands-on work expertise and application-oriented instruction. The same philosophy guides the Center for Cybersecurity. Special care has been taken to merge academic rigor with professional application. This makes it up-to-date and relevant to industry needs. The curriculum has the flexibility to be regularly updated to reflect the needs of changing academic and industry standards. All these elements have been infused into the curriculum owing to the vast expertise and firsthand experience that QUICKHEAL possesses in computer security.

Quick Heal Technologies Ltd, established in 1995, is a global player in computer security. It has a strong market presence with an entire range of Quick Heal products, some of which include well-known products like Quick Heal Antivirus Solutions and Quick Heal Scan Engine. The brand is famous for software such as Gadget Security, Quick Heal Total Security, Quick Heal Mobile Security, Fonetastic Pro, etc.

The ever-expanding scope of the internet and the emerging domain of computer-aided technologies, along with the entire industries that depend on them, make cybersecurity a field of supreme importance. Scores of skilled professionals are needed to sustain and nurture the interests and needs of the new-age users. Quantum Centre for Cyber Security provides students with new-age labs, sophisticated software, expertise of industry leaders, and guidance from prominent academics. The Centre for Cyber Security is a unique chance for the student to capitalize on the growing demand and to gain expertise under the aegis of a leader like Quick Heal Technologies.
