M.S in Cyber Law and Information Security(MS-CLIS) at IIIT Allahabad


The course provide an exhaustive blend of Technology and Legal requirement that are often sought after by the concerned industry. MS-CLIS students receives grounding in programming, security auditing, logic and cryptography, in addition to policy and legislative procedures. The education is at par with certifications like CISA, CISM and CISSP. “The knowledge that MS-CLIS students have at the end of the course is the same, as expected of a person holding all these certifications, and more,” says Dr. Abhishek Vaish, the faculty coordinator for placement at IIITA.

Well, above is an objective view of the institute and the course, but this is my blog, and i possess the right to write my views and experiences with this course. I joined the course in july 2013 and within a fortnight after joining the course, I found out that i was quite naive before, my  understanding of information security was not holistic. It was a big surprise as i could never have had imagined the enormous diversity of the course and bazillion opportunities that i can get after successful completion of this course.

In a nutshell, the course tries to evolve its student as a techno-Legal experts who understand Information Security to the very core . I am currently pursuing this course with a great zeal and expect to meet very enthusiastic students next year.

Did i miss to assetize Virtual Machines !

Auditee : Hi There ! Welcome, What would you like to have? Tea or Coffee? Auditor: Asset Register ! A comprehensive Asset Register is something which is quintessential for any risk management program. Everything that has to do with risk, follows from here. Information Security Risks are no different that any other type of risks. Having a few people (rarely security pro) building asset register will probably mess up any risk management at the very first stage. It has been seen that people generally miss to address technologically advanced assets (The ones they did not understand a few years ago)  to register in their asset inventory. The most obvious are the virtual machines.  Every day ,Virtual Machines (VM) are being created on the fly as per business requirement, many of them persist for years and many not so much. There are many questions  like: if that particular VM is of some value? Do I need to consider it as valuable at this point of time, whe...

With the proliferation of automated hacking toolkits and amusement that news channels create when some popular website gets hacked or defaced, every IT guy have heard of "security" at least as many times as it is sufficient to  make it sound boring.  Many researches held at universities across the globe shows good correlation between poor employee engagement with poor interest in efficiently fulfilling their jobs.
