CSIR lab logs in for cyber threat intel project

Fourth Paradigm Institute, a data sciences and translational research laboratory under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), is anchoring a GoI-backed cyberspace surveillance project to generate threat intelligence.

The Bengaluru-based CSIR-4PI has successfully presented a proof of concept on the network telescope project to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and earlier this week received the go-ahead for the Rs 3-crore project.

Network telescope systems facilitate the monitoring and recording of malicious internet traffic and are critical to strategic surveillance.
