THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Underlining the importance of cyber security in the 
coming days, A S Kiran Kumar, chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation 
(ISRO), said here on Thursday that ethical hacking should be integrated to 
every organisation’s information system to counter security threats.

Kiran Kumar was speaking after inaugurating a two-day seminar on 
‘Computers and Information Technology (ISCIT-2015)’ organised by ISRO at 
the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC). While embracing latest 
technologies, the importance of cyber security increases manifold. The 
integration of ethical hacking into the system is essential to proactively 
counter security threats in the increasingly unsafe cyber world, he said.

Guiding fishermen to better fishing grounds or issuing instructions to 
orbiting spacecraft, computers powered by the latest IT tools have proved 
to be the backbone of space research and application across the globe, 
Kiran Kumar said. Adopting latest technologies is the key to success. 
Sharing computing services through cloud computing and enhancing 
performance by quantum computing will get more thrust in the coming days, 
he said.

Delivering the keynote address, R Narayanan, former vice- president of 
Tata Consultancy Services, lauded ISRO’s peer review mechanism, its way of 
looking at a problem from multiple angles, the preference of an optimal 
solution over the ideal one and the space organisation’s ability to 
analyse a problem.
