Director's Note

Businesses, individuals, and society are exposed to new threats and risks that risk managers, C-Suite leaders, IT professionals, and policymakers should be concerned about managing in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. These threats and risks can damage trust in products and services, potentially destroying a company’s reputation, no matter how well-established it is.

Trust is extremely fragile in the digital sphere, and the most effective way to handle the constantly evolving threat landscape is to have a cohesive, well-planned cybersecurity strategy in place. This strategy should function as a shield during the rapid changes by digital transformation, protecting a company's tangible and intangible assets, including its reputation.

NITIE is poised to achieve its excellence goals by establishing this centre of excellence: Data Science and Digital Trust, by creating scalable templates for industry applications and focusing on identifying solutions using futuristic technology. This initiative is a living testament to an institution dedicated to contributing to capacity building at multiple levels: consulting capabilities within the institute that serve current industry requirements, a supply of high-quality executives to create future capacity in industries, and a good pool of intellectuals who contribute to the academic requirements required for nation building. NITIE has a thriving alumni community that leads and contributes to major industries in India and worldwide.

Building better tomorrow!
