Cyber
security in India is one issue that requires immediate
attention of our policy makers. Cyber security issue has already been
delayed for more than 5 years and there is no sense in further
delaying the same.
Perry4Law
and Perry4Law
Techno Legal Base (PTLB) have been advocating for a
strong, robust and techno legal cyber security for India. The cyber
laws and cyber security trends in India 2011 provided by
Perry4Law and PTLB clearly stated that there is no room for further
delaying the strengthening of cyber security in India.
Cyber
security policy and strategy of India has finally got the
attention of Indian government and the cyber
security policy of India is in pipeline. However, it is
still not clear whether the proposed cyber
security policy of India would be techno legal or not as
has been suggested by Perry4Law and PTLB.
Meanwhile, the national
cyber coordination centre (NCCC) of India has been
proposed that may strengthen the cyber security of India provided it
takes care of certain techno legal issues.
To start with, we need a sound Techno Legal
Framework for Cyber Security in India, suggests Praveen
Dalal, managing partner of New Delhi based Law Firm
Perry4Law
and leading techno legal expert of Asia. We have no dedicated Legal
Framework for Cyber Security in India and Cyber
Security Laws in India are grossly missing, opines Dalal.
Further, Cyber
Security Capabilities of India must be Strengthened
suggests Dalal. To supplement the same Cyber Forensics Capabilities
of India must be enhanced and the Cyber Law of India must be
reformulated, stresses Dalal.
These are ambitious objectives that require good
techno legal skills development. The sooner these skills are
developed the better it would be for the larger interest of India.
