We attended the CyberShield Conference 2025 as a team from HacFy to explore the latest developments in the cybersecurity domain. The event provided valuable insights into the growing cybersecurity ecosystem, especially the rising opportunities and advancements in Tier-2 regions.

During the conference, we engaged in technical sessions, interacted with experts, and learned about current trends in cyber defense, job roles, and skillsets in demand. It was a great platform to understand how cybersecurity is evolving and how we can align our efforts to contribute effectively.

We successfully conducted an awareness session on Mobile Safety and Cybersecurity for MBA students & MBA Faculties, led by Team HacFy in collaboration with the Cyber Security Club and supported by students from the Department of ICB.

The initiative emphasized how crucial cyber hygiene is for future business leaders, ensuring they’re not just digitally literate, but also cyber-responsible.

This session was part of our ongoing effort to extend cybersecurity literacy beyond technical departments and empower every individual with the tools and mindset to stay secure in a connected world.
