Varsity jacket A Cyber-Security Session

by Dr. Rakshit Tandon

By Sia Duggal (DP 1A)

As our world becomes increasingly
dependent on technology, the importance
of cyber security is greater than ever
before. At DPSI, we aim to equip ourselves
with essential 21st century skills that
ensure a safe, and equitable future.

On October 21, 2022, DPSI had the privilege
of hosting Dr. Rakshit Tandon, a renowned
cyber security and training consultant for
the UN Office of Drugs and Crime on Cyber-
Enabled Trafficking. Dr. Tandon conducted
a seminar aimed at enlightening students
on how to navigate the cybersecurity
landscape and use the internet responsibly.

During the seminar, Dr. Tandon presented
intriguing cases to the students that
candidly depicted how people can be
deceived by strangers on online video game
servers. He also shared simple yet effective
techniques for creating passwords that are
difficult to crack and how to maintain a safe
internet presence. These insights left a
lasting impression on the attendees,
making the session truly memorable.
