Broadband and mobile telephony major Reliance Infocomm Ltd has launched a Security Engineering Course to train students in combating security and cyber crimes.

"Security is normally viewed as a low-end job of a gateman or a watchman in an Army-like uniform. But with the advent of technology in all arenas of life, this will assume a great importance and become a necessity," Reliance Group president (management services) V V Bhatt told here on Sunday.

The company plans to train NCC 'C' certificate holders, who traditionally dream of joining the defence forces, under its Security Engineering Course, he said.

Reliance would offer them an opportunity to join the corporate world "not just as a security guard, but to make a challenging career," as they would also be trained on high-tech areas of cyber crimes, he said.

"We plan to recruit 40-45 graduates with NCC certificates annually for the course, which also encompasses commando training conducted by experts from the Army and Mumbai Police, he said.

The company intends to catch youngsters and train them in data security, including information theft and cyber crimes, among others skills.

Reliance Infocomm has opened its training centre at Lodhivali, near Panvel (Navi Mumbai) and has already received over 6,000 applications from students interested in the course, he said.

Reliance Infocomm would recruit the pass-outs for various centres of Reliance Infocomm, Reliance Industries and the recently-acquired NOCIL, he added.

The company had earlier introduced a similar training programme for children in computer and multi-media, 'Cyber Kids', and one for housewives, 'Cyber Moms', both of which are being conducted through its Web Worlds.

The telephony major was also planning to provide training to over one lakh college students and housewives in communication skills.
