Bachelor of Technology CSE in Cyber Security ✶

We usually find the security bug and stop, but that is only half the job. What comes next- what measures to take is the next part, and deciding whether it will be beneficial or not. Responsible disclosure is how a researcher reports a flaw so it gets fixed rather than exploited, and a clear vulnerability report is what turns a discovery into a defence. Both matter as much as the technical skill of finding the bug.

Using two identical tools for research, which are used for the same application, yields different results. One gives a minor issue, while the other shows a flaw worth lakhs. The difference is not the tools; it is understanding how the application is meant to work. That is the world of business logic vulnerabilities, where the highest-impact bugs live.

Wireless networks are one of the most overlooked parts of an organisation’s security. Wireless penetration testing is the authorised assessment of Wi-Fi security, and understanding it means understanding how Wi-Fi encryption evolved from the broken WEP to today’s WPA3, and why strong encryption alone is never enough.

As AI systems move from answering questions to taking actions, they become software that can be attacked. Prompt injection, now ranked the number-one risk to AI applications, is the central threat, and agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol expand the attack surface. Here is what it means, and how to defend against it.

Ask most people what a cybersecurity job is and they will say hacking. That is one specialisation among many. The real cybersecurity career paths span defence, investigation, testing, and governance, and knowing the difference is the first step to choosing a direction in the field

Drishya Nair went from a diploma classroom to representing one of the world’s largest open-source technology companies as a Red Hat Student Ambassador at Parul University. Her story is about how the role is earned and about a conviction that matters more than ever: understand technology, do not just use it.

Ask what a cybersecurity professional needs first, and the answer is rarely hacking tools. It is Linux. Almost every security tool, server and target runs on it, which is why command-line competence is the foundation of the field rather than an accessory to it.

At Parul University’s AI and Machine Learning Centre, students built a computer-vision system to manage crowds at large public events for the Vadodara Municipal Corporation. Its estimated cost is around 10 lakh rupees, against roughly 1 crore for comparable commercial systems.

A Tech Mahindra hiring team told Parul University students what really gets a fresher hired in IT, and it is not a stack of certificates. It is learnability, one genuinely strong domain, communication, and the mindset to own a solution rather than list a problem.

Parul University has opened a Tech Mahindra Centre of Excellence for SAP and Cyber Security, backed by a formal partnership offering mentoring, internships, certifications, and recruitment pathways. It is one of only three universities in India selected for the cyber security programme, according to the university’s placement office.

Careers in fields like IT, cybersecurity, sustainable technology, and healthcare are constantly in need of professionals. It is because of the gap between demand and supply

The last day of PiCET was observed on 2nd May 2026 with an award ceremony. Appreciating twelve winners across the research sessions. The highest prize awarded was ₹15K, the third prize winner offered ₹5K, along with consolation awards. The article mentions a complete list of winners, paper IDs, and Parul University’s engineering programs that train students who prepare them for each domain.

Prof. Ashutosh Dhar Dwivedi, faculty at Aalborg University in Denmark and a cryptographer who completed his PhD at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, delivered the PiCET 2026 keynote on digital security. The session ran through symmetric and asymmetric encryption, the quantum threat to RSA, post-quantum cryptography, the failure of OTP-based authentication, and a live demonstration of password-less authentication using a YubiKey.

A student of Parul University at Vadodara got selected as the Google Gemini Student Ambassador (GSA ID 2439). He went through a selection process divided into three phases. From thousands of national applications, he was selected, supported by faculty mentorship and university leadership.
