Maharashtra Police, in association with ISACA and FICCI, have started an initiative to make companies in Mumbai Wi-Fi secure. As part of the initiative, ISACA will support Maharashtra Police with its huge bandwidth of expertise and key tools toward IT security management. This announcement was made in a conference on Wi-Fi Security organized in Mumbai. Mr. R. Sivanandan, Police Commissioner – Intelligence, Maharashtra, was the Chief Guest, while Mr. Vijay Mukhi, Chairman, FICCI IT Cell, was the keynote speaker. Also present on this occasion was Mr. Avinash W. Kadam, Ex International Vice-President, ISACA & IT Governance Institute.

The increasing incidents of security breach by antisocial elements and use of unsecured Wi-Fi connections for sending terror emails has made Wi-Fi security a major concern these days. Consequently, Maharashtra Police along with ISACA and FICCI have joined hands to secure Wi-Fi connections in the state. ISACA will provide guidance and support to create awareness about the need for Wi-Fi security, providing companies an insight on various internationally recognized and adopted tools and programs, providing adequate training to the IT professionals through CISA, CISM and CGEIT certifications, and so on.

Avinash W. Kadam, Immediate Past Vice-President, ISACA & ITGI, said in his address, "In the present scenario when the net security has become vulnerable and terrorists are misusing Wi-Fi connections for wrong purposes, it is pertinent to educate our society to secure them. The objective of this conference is to make attendees understand the international best practices of Wi-Fi security. It would help these young minds and the future of India who would lead our march to a more secure Wi-Fi Mumbai by actually helping people to secure their Wi-Fi networks and also spreading the knowledge they have learnt. ISACA is helping to lead the initiative to make corporate India Wi-Fi secure."
