With only two weeks remaining for the official launch of the Certified Cyber Crisis Management Professional (CCMP) course, the Future Crime Research Foundation (FCRF), in collaboration with CERT-In, has issued a call for registrations. The course, set to commence on 5th July 2025, is already witnessing record participation from senior civil servants, defence officers, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), digital forensics teams, cybersecurity professionals, and key industry decision-makers.
Developed in alignment with India’s growing need for cyber crisis preparedness, the CCMP program offers a rare opportunity for participants across sectors to build resilience against advanced cyber threats through practical, simulation-based learning.
A Nationally-Backed Response to a National Challenge
India’s regulatory ecosystem has been tightening its cyber readiness requirements across sectors. From RBI’s directive on breach simulations and SEBI’s mandatory cyber drills to NCIIPC’s focus on protecting Critical Information Infrastructure (CII), the demand for skilled cyber crisis managers has never been greater.
Recognizing this urgency, CERT-In—the Government of India’s nodal cybersecurity agency—and the IIT Kanpur’s AIIDE-CoE incubated Future Crime Research Foundation have collaboratively launched the CCMP course to train a new generation of cyber crisis professionals.
The course has already been endorsed by senior leadership across public and private domains. Hundreds of professionals from central and state government departments, paramilitary and defence institutions, state police forces, BFSI firms, insurance companies, digital businesses, PSUs, and multinational corporations have confirmed their enrollment.
