C-DAC announces new cyber security centre, software solutions to aid development for supercomputing

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), today, announced three new technology solutions that are meant to tackle cybersecurity and supercomputing needs in India. The three technologies include a new cyber security facility that will be offered as a service to other organizations, and two software solutions that will help developers adapt code for newer hardware. The announcements were made as part of C-DAC’s 34th foundation day today.

The cyber security centre — Cyber Security Operation Centre (CSoC) — is a 6000 square feet centre in Thiruvananthapuram, that the government claims will offer “end-to-end security solutions” and managed security services. It will include a centralized security monitoring system that will aim to respond to all cybersecurity incidents and provide advanced threat detection for organizations that use its services.
