Kandukur:  The use of Cyber Technology helps in protection of personal and organisational sensitive information and blocks usage of the same by unauthorised persons, according to Vayuputra, information security analyst to the students of Prakasam Engineering College at Kandukur on Monday.

The Andhra Pradesh Information Technology Academy and eSF Labs Limited jointly organised an online seminar on ‘CyberThon 2018’ at Prakasam Engineering College. Vayuputra explained the students about various methods of data storage, data sharing and data theft and made a few suggestions on protecting techniques of sensitive data.
