Cyber awareness month October-November 2022
The Cyber Day initiative is a KPMG Global Corporate Citizenship programme aimed at educating youngsters on the importance of cyber security and internet risk. Our endeavour is to have school children take part in learning sessions focused on topics like safeguarding oneself online, using social media safely, dealing with cyberbullying, gaming safely, etc.
Over the past years, this programme has been immensely successful and this year, we have taken a step ahead to enhance the outreach by targeting the student segments in government and NGO-aided schools as well. This year we covered more than 60000 students conducting over 330 sessions in 15 cities in 7 regional languages other than English. Out of this overall number, 67 per cent of students belonged to the government and NGO-aided cadre as we targeted.
Given below are a few glimpses of sessions done so far this year.
IR Events – Gurugram, Mumbai and Bengaluru
The DT team came together to organise a three-event series, headlined as “Navigating Cyber risks – Cyber Incidents Readiness Imperative” to showcase the capabilities and platforms in incident response during August, September and December in Gurugram, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The event was presided over by CISOs and CIOs from 80 unique organisations. CISOs and CIOs from organisations like Airtel, Nykaa, BIAL, CRED, Salesforce, Nokia, Indus Towers, LTI and ZS Associates etc. took part as panelists.
During the Gurugram event, our TL - The game is on - are you ready? – on incident response (link) was released which was later distributed to clients across all the three events along with other give-aways.
We also showcased our Cyber Incident Response Tools like the Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform (CTIP), Digital Signals Insights Platform (DSIP), KPMG Cyber Risk Insight Platform, and DevSecOps, which were well received by the clients.
