Sri Shanmugha Educational Institutions

The department of Computer Science and Engineering (Cyber Security) was established in the year 2023 with an intake of 60 and it is emerging for addressing the industry’s increasing demand for skilled security professionals in the public and private sectors.

The Department is dedicated to equipping students with comprehensive expertise in safeguarding digital systems and information assets. At its core, this department delves into foundational cyber security concepts, instilling a deep understanding of cryptography, network security, secure coding practices, digital forensics, ethical hacking, and risk management. These fundamentals serve as the bedrock upon which students build their expertise in tackling modern cyber security challenges.

In addition to technical prowess, the department emphasizes the importance of legal and ethical considerations in cyber security. Students delve into the intricacies of privacy laws, intellectual property rights, compliance standards, and the ethical responsibilities inherent in cyber security roles. This holistic approach ensures that graduates not only possess technical competence but also operate within legal and ethical frameworks. Students explore cutting-edge advancements such as artificial intelligence, blockchain security, IoT security, and cloud security.

Soft skills and communication are also prioritized within the department. Recognizing the collaborative nature of cyber security work, students hone their abilities in communication, teamwork, and project management. These interpersonal skills complement technical expertise, enabling graduates to thrive in multidisciplinary environments.

The Department collaborates closely with industry leaders such as K7 Computing and EC-Council through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), enriching the curriculum and providing students with invaluable real-world insights.

Finally, research and innovation serve as pillars of excellence within the department. Students and faculty are encouraged to engage in research projects, publish findings, and collaborate with industry partners to advance cyber security knowledge and practices. This commitment to innovation ensures that graduates are equipped not only to address current cyber security challenges but also to shape the future of the field through continuous learning and discovery.

The Department is adopting a new innovative teaching methodology to meet PEOs (Programme Educational Objectives). It is organising technical activities in tutorial periods for the enhancement of student’s skills. It has organised a short-term course for students on ANDROID which will bridge the gap between Academia and Industry. It is also encouraging students to develop the in-house project so that they can meet the industrial requirements, by adopting the standard Project Development Process. Our department has been recognized by IIT Bombay to act as a nodal center for all its distance digital learning process. It has also been bestowed with virtual classroom facilities. We have signed an MOU with NPTEL for displaying the lectures by the eminent professors of Computer Science and Engineering. The faculties of the department are the members of the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) and Computer Society of India (CSI). The Department of Computer Science and Engineering has the primary objective of providing world-class education in the field of Computer Science. The department is combining excellence in education and research with reference to the industry. Right from its inception, the Department has been offering phenomenal infrastructural facilities with a variety of computing platforms to professional students to meet the burgeoning demands of the IT industry.
