Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced on Monday that it had entered into $1 million dollar, five-year R&D collaboration with Stanford University in the US for research in the critical area of data privacy.
TCS scientists from the Tata Research Development and Design Centre in Pune and the computer science department at Stanford University will work on joint projects in the areas of security and data privacy through this collaboration.
"Data privacy is at the centrestage of global organisations. The available data privacy tools and technologies being developed worldwide are at a very early stage of development. We have been approached by many banks and financial institutions looking to secure communication and mask critical data. This collaboration brings the best minds from the academia and industry together. Universities need large amounts of data for testing new ideas and that is something which TCS intends providing through such collaborations," said Mr S. Ramadorai, chief executive officer and managing director, TCS. Stanford is one of the leading US universities working in the area of data privacy.
