Cyber security has become a top priority in the
present world where technology is used for numerous purposes. From
business to government services, everything now depends upon
technology. This has raised serious cyber security issues around the
world.
India is a late entrant in the cyber security field.
As a result Indian cyber security is still at the infancy stage.
There is no clear cut picture of cyber security in India. However,
the Centre
of Excellence for Cyber Security Research and Development in India
(CECSRDI) of Perry4Law Organisation (P4LO) has been
providing the cyber security trends of India.
For the year 2013, P4LO provided the cyber
security trends and developments of India 2013 (PDF). For
the year 2014 as well P4LO has released the cyber
security trends and developments in India 2014.
The trends document has covered vast areas
pertaining to cyber security of India. These include
areas like policy and legal framework, national cyber coordination
centre, bitcoins, e-commerce websites, cyber security obligations of
directors, etc.
For those interested in Indian cyber security, the
CECSRDI
Twitter account can be a good place to hang out. The
account is a good platform to keep oneself updated about Indian and
global cyber security related issues.
The cyber
security challenges before the Indian government would be
tremendous in the year 2015. The international nature of cyber
attacks would require a totally different approach towards cyber
crimes and cyber security in India. Keeping this in mind, even the
cyber law of India would be required to be suitably
amended or repealed.
