Dr. Upendra Kumar, presented his topic on  Ai In Cybersecurity- Uses, Benefits, And Challenges, He said that AI is rapidly changing the cybersecurity landscape, equipping organizations with powerful mechanisms for detecting and preventing cyber threats. It has helped many organizations stay one step ahead of hackers by facilitating machine learning algorithms that detect abnormalities in network traffic and AI-powered firewalls that block malware. However, there are challenges and risks involved in implementing AI in cybersecurity. One must know about the attackers’ ability to use AI, the biases of AI, and the requirement for human supervision and cooperation.It is important for us to understand the possible dangers and challenges of using AI in cybersecurity. AI models can be manipulated, impersonation can be done using voice synthesis, and phishing campaigns over emails can harm organizations if they are not proactive in understanding these dangers from AI.In order to make its security posture more adaptive and efficient, an organization should adopt an AI approach that is well planned out and cooperative toward cybersecurity. Artificial intelligence will increasingly become a significant enabler against the ever-growing threat landscape, thus securing our digital assets and assuring online integrity.

 

 

Dr. Pawan Kumar Chaurasia, presented his topic on  “ The cybersecurity” He said the landscape is constantly evolving, with new threats and technologies emerging all the time. As we move into the future, fields like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and quantum computing will play a significant role in shaping cybersecurity. AI is already being used to detect patterns in cyberattacks, while blockchain technology promises more secure data storage solutions. However, with these advancements come new challenges. Cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, and the complexity of cyberattacks is increasing. This means the demand for cybersecurity professionals will only continue to rise, creating exciting opportunities for those with the right skills. Cybersecurity is essential in today's ever-digital world to protect private data, secure sensitive information, and defend national infrastructure. Without strong cybersecurity defences, people, organizations, and governments would always be vulnerable to financial loss.

 

 

Prof. Bishnu Prasad Lamsa presented his topic on “ Cyber Ethics And Data Protection In Nepal” He said Cyber laws in Nepal are an essential component of the nation's digital ecosystem, promoting trust, security, and accountability. With recent developments like the National Cyber Security Policy 2023, Draft Bill on IT and Cyber Security, and the Data Act, 2079, Nepal is making strides to address the complexities of the digital landscape. Continuous updates and enhancements to these frameworks will ensure a secure and vibrant digital economy for Nepal’s citizens and businesses. Nepal's journey in framing cyber laws began in the early 2000s, coinciding with the rise of the internet. The Electronic Transactions Act (ETA), 2006 (also known as Cyber Law of Nepal), remains the cornerstone of Nepal's cyber legal framework. However, other laws, such as the Muluki Penal Code, 2074, Copyright Act, 2002, Telecommunications Act, 2053, and Individual Privacy Act, 2018, also contribute to Nepal's broader cyber law landscape.
