There are huge investments on natural resources and mineral-based industries. However, they are all finite in their development and there is always a limit to which these can grow. But non-mineral-based industries like IT and ITeS' potential to grow is infinite."
Throwing light on the objective of the Fifth OITF, Deepak Kumar Sahu, Publisher & Managing Director, VARINDIA, Kalinga Digital Media Pvt.

Cloud Computing, explosion of mobile devices and social networking in enterprises are some of the big trends that will thrive in the next decade. What enterprises need today is a secure, reliable and an easy way to connect to everyone's device of choice. So, enterprises require integrated solutions that can provide a broad range of capabilities including secure connections, secure protections, and device management for a broad range of devices. For all these secure cloud will bring in better productivity."
The event comprised of power packed presentations by IT corporates and thought-provoking Panel Discussion on "Cyber Security in Cloud Computing". In the panel discussion, Dr. Gopal Krishna Nayak, Director, IIIT, Bhubaneswar, opined, "The base knowledge about security is missing and that is what actually leads to security problems."
