Please see the RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS page to get an overview of various projects being undertaken by members of the group.

We collaborate actively with industry, academia and government entities, both within Bengaluru and outside. IISc also serves as the anchor institution of the Karnataka State Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Cyber Security that was established in 2018, providing oversight and thought leadership to the CoE. We welcome new collaborators to get in touch.
