Securing network infrastructure against cyberattacks is among one of the top priorities in any private sector, government departments, military or any other organizations. It is in this niche that the research work in the domain of Network Security will play an important national role. The research would target analysis of network threats using advanced machine learning techniques, effect analysis of network security policies on a large network, detection and prevention of APTs, automated security audit of an enterprise network, prediction based network defence mechanisms, network risk management, penetration testing and vulnerability management.
