The Center for Research and Innovation in Cyber Threat Resilience (CRICTR) at Kerala University of Digital Sciences, Innovation and Technology (KUDSIT) is an initiative for creating resilient and robust systems for government, businesses and organisations in all different domains of information technology. The lab aims for the research, innovation, consultancy and training in the broad areas related to the development of cyber threat resilient IT infrastructure capable of threat detection, prevention, and self-healing. The Center was inaugurated by Dr. Gulshan Rai, The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Prime Minister’s Office, Government of India on October 13, 2015 during the First International Workshop on Cyber Threat Resilience jointly organized by Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management-Kerala and Steven’s Institute of Technology, USA.
