I am a cyber-security enthusiast working in cyber security domain
from last 2 years, during my work I closely interacted with people of all age
group and noticed that they are not appropriately aware about privacy and
security and not taking it seriously so that’s why I taken an initiative to aware
people.
We started working on planning for big cyber awareness conference
where we can reach
maximum people at once place in first week of November 2016
we finalized 22 January 2017 date for the event because we are also running a
month long campaign “Privacy Month” in India and started taking people on board
to help us and achieve the target, with 15 best volunteer who did great job to
make event successful we worked dedicatedly toward our goal in result we
reached out to 30+ colleges and 6+ big communities to get involved with us and
mark their presence at Gujarat’s 1st ever Cyber Awareness Conference. Till 15 January we almost finalize everything
like our venue which has a capacity of 1000 people, our team of 30 people to
handle that much crowd and all the other thing with our amazing panel of
Speaker which includes Shree Parshottam Rupala (Central Union Minister of State,
Government of India), Pradeeep singh Jadeja (Home Minister, Government of
Gujarat), Rakshit Tandon(Advisor Cyber Crime Cell, Gurgaon Police, Consultant
at IAMAI), Dr. Amar Parasad Reddy (Director General, NCDRC), Mr Hitesh Sanghvi
(Deputy Director, DFS), Col. Vipin Bhatia, Lt. Vineet Kumar(President, Cyber
Peace Foundation) Pavan Duggal (World Renowned Cyber Lawyer, Supreme Court of
India, ), Ruzan Khambatta(Founder, women Helpline 1091).
On 22 January, the event day was going to be very stressful for
me, because of the tension I didn’t even slept the whole night, as an organizer
of the event I have to manage all the things but thanks to all my team members
for helping me to handle the crowd and mange so fluently the flow of event. it
was a dream come true for me because I was thinking to organize such an
event from last 1 year and I finally did it with the great success. More than 1200
people registered for the event and around 1000 people showed us on the event
day was an amazing achievement for us.
Our Vision

cyber-crime in day to day life, Our Government of India
is working rapidly with it to bring keen and powerful solutions in upcoming
future but the big revolution is not possible without the help of citizen
itself. So it’s time to teach and make people Secured, Safe and Stay Protected against the Cyber Theft and Cyber Crime which happen just with the few clicks.
we will aware all the people to take
some useful steps to fore come the Cyber Security challenges which is been
faced these days. The name "Logout"
is chosen because everyone has logged in their account everywhere in phone, in
laptop, personal computer, office computer but they aren’t safe anywhere, hence it time to aware them and make everyone
