QUT MOU with leading Indian Technology Institutions
The Queensland University of Technology has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) and the Indian Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS). This agreement paves the way for joint collaboration in the important areas of information security and intelligence analysis.

"The importance of information security in today's world cannot be underestimated, QUT Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Coaldrake said.

"Not only do we live in a world where all aspects of our lives are increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies, but we also live in a post 9/11 world where this dependence is under constant threat.

"Additionally, viruses, identity theft and other problems all contribute to make the Internet a dangerous place"
, said Professor Coaldrake.

The agreement has been descibed as a move that will benefit all concerned stakeholders in the Information Technology sector.

"This agreement represents a very strategic and timely response to the electronic security needs of today
, said Professor Coaldrake.

"QUT is proud to be part of this partnership, which both addresses a problem of international and topical importance, and is helping to further build strategic links between Australia and India".
