Cyber
security of India is the popular discussion these days.
This is a good sign for the cyber security of India. However, we have
already done enough talks and it is the actual implementation of
cyber security initiatives that is required at this stage.
Serious cyber threats have been endangering the
critical infrastructures of India and there is an urgent need to
ensure critical
infrastructure protection in India. For instance, cyber
terrorism, cyber
warfare, cyber
espionage, etc are some areas where we need to develop
both offensive
and defensive cyber security capabilities in India.
Further, cyber
security skills development in India is also required.
While Indian government has always ignored
cyber security of India yet some private players have been
playing a pro active role in this regard. To cite an example,
Perry4Law,
Perry4Law
Techno Legal Base (PTLB) and Perry4Law
Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) have launched
exclusive techno legal cyber
forensics research centre of India, cyber
security research centre of India and cyber
crimes investigation centre of India for long.
These centers
would help in modernisation
of police force of India and fighting against cyber
crimes, cyber attacks and other menaces of cyberspace. Further, cyber
crimes investigation training in India by PTLB can also be
helpful. In short, cyber
security in India has been rejuvenated by private players that
further needs governmental support.
The
starting point can be formulation of an effective cyber
security policy of India that must be actually implemented
at grass root levels. No matter howsoever good the intentions and
announcements may be they are useless if they are not implemented in
a timely and effective manner. India government must take help of
techno legal institutions like PTLB and PTLITC to effectively manage
its cyber security related tasks.
