IIT Madras Pravartak, Swayam Plus launch multi-cloud programmes on computing and cybersecurity skills

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation, in partnership with SWAYAM Plus, an initiative of the Union Education Ministry, has launched a Multi-Cloud Foundation with Security Programmes. The initiative aims to equip students, graduates, and working professionals with practical cloud computing and cybersecurity skills.

Covering key areas such as cloud computing and multi-cloud concepts, compute, storage and networking, identity and access management, database services, cloud cost management, multi-cloud architecture, and practical applications, the 100-hour programme integrates textbook learning with real-life application. Participants will also receive dedicated training in cloud security, including threat detection, identity hardening, encryption, compliance, security monitoring, and incident response.

The programme is delivered through live online sessions and an immersive learning experience at the IIT Madras campus, with limited batch sizes due to the campus component. Applications for the first batch are set to begin on September 10, with the last date to apply announced as September 9. Eligible participants include students, graduates, working professionals, and aspiring technology professionals with prior knowledge of basic infrastructure concepts.
