Indian National Cyber Security Database

This post talks about the latest techno legal cyber security initiative by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB). The initiative is known as National Cyber Security Database of India (NCSDI) and it is a unique techno legal cyber security initiative.

In a much needed development, PTLB has constituted the first ever techno legal national cyber security database of India (NCSDI). This is a significant development that can go a long way on strengthening of cyber security of India.

The NCSDI is a part and parcel of much larger and more specialised initiative of PTLB. It is part of the exclusive techno legal cyber security research centre of India (CSRCI) managed by PTLB.

The NCSDI would consist of techno legal cyber security experts of India who should be enrolled with PTLB in this regard. Those interested in enrolling with NCSDI must read the enrolment criteria for the same.

NCSDI intents to fight against cyber threats and cyber attacks in India including cyber terrorism against India, cyber warfare against India, cyber espionage against India, critical infrastructure protection in India, managing India’s cyber security problems, issues and challenges, etc.

NCSDI would also be an essential part of various cyber security initiatives and projects of Indian government and private cyber security players of India and abroad.

NCSDI is a very ambitious and much needed initiative of PTLB that deserved support and collaboration of Indian government and various cyber security stakeholders. Let us see how NCSDI and CSRDI would strengthen the cyber security environment of India.

Indian Cyber And High Tech Crime Investigation And Training Centre

In this post we are discussing about the Cyber and Hi-Tech Crime Investigation and Training (CHCIT) Centre of India managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB). This is the exclusive techno legal cyber and hi-tech crime investigation and training centre of India that is managing both technical and legal issues of cyber crimes and high tech crimes.

Techno legal issues especially cyber crimes and cyber security issues in India are complicated to manage and tackle. Countries all over the world are struggling to deal with the same. Even in India we have to cover a long road before expertise pertaining to cyber security in India and cyber forensic in India can be achieved.

Research and development plays a major role in developing cyber security capabilities. It is also crucial to develop methods to fight against cyber crimes and cyber attacks. Private initiatives like cyber security research centre of India (CSRCI), cyber forensics research and development centre of India (CFRDCI), cybercrimes investigation centre of India (CCICI), etc are crucial in this regard.

At Perry4Law and PTLB we are managing the exclusive techno legal cyber crime and high tech investigation and training centre of India. We are also managing the exclusive techno legal centre of excellence for cyber crimes investigation in India.

Further, in order to inculcate techno legal skills among police, lawyers, judges, professionals, etc we have been managing the exclusive techno legal centre of excellence for lifelong learning in India where we are providing trainings, courses and education in the fields like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, etc. PTLB e-learning platform further helps in achieving this objective.

The cyber crimes investigation centre of India by PTLB aims at developing techno legal skills among cyber crime investigators on the pone hand and modernisation of police force of India on the other. We provide cyber crimes investigation trainings in India to various stakeholders.

Perry4Law and PTLB have also provided cyber crimes trends in India 2012, cyber law trends in India 2012, cyber security trends in India 2012, etc. Previous years trends have also been provided by Perry4Law and PTLB to give various stakeholders a good look of cyber environment of India. 

We have been providing ICT trends in India since 2005-06. The ICT trends in India 2009 and subsequent trends have discussed both the positive and negative aspects of Indian ICT policies and strategies.

We hope that this exclusive techno legal cyber crime investigation centre of India would prove useful to all stakeholders in India and abroad.

Cyber Security Council For India Formulated

It has been reported that an Indian cyber security council has been constituted. Although it is a belated move yet it is a good step in the right direction. At Perry4Law Techno Legal base (PTLB) we welcome this step of Indian government.

Cyber security cannot be managed till we have governmental will and public support. We cannot have public support till the government actually takes some concrete steps in the direction of strengthening of cyber security. One such step has been taken by Indian government.

According to the report published by my colleague, the cyber security council of India has been constituted by Indian government. This is a good step in the right direction as such an action was long due on the part of Indian government.

Although this is a modest beginning yet if Indian government is committed this can transform into a major cyber security initiative by Indian government. I am hereby sharing the report of my friend for our readers.

Cyber security of India has finally got the attention of Indian government. Indian government has been announcing many initiatives that could strengthen cyber security of India. Although these initiatives have come late yet this is a good beginning from all counts.

Now it has been reported that the Indian government has launched a new and dedicated wing of the country's National Security Council Secretariat (NSCC). The function of the proposed wing would be to deal with the growing cyber threat especially those from cyber terrorists.

Cyber terrorism against India, cyber warfare against India, cyber espionage against India, etc are on rise and this dedicated wing can be really helpful in this regard. The wing would coordinate with other existing law enforcement agencies. The objective of the wing would be to keep both public and private computer safe from cyber attack and malicious activities.

The proposed wing would work in the direction of ensuring coordination among various government departments of India so that both national and international cyber threats can be countered. Gradually the wind would be extended to make its initiatives and efforts more holistic and wide.

However, India still needs to stress upon cyber security research and development. Till now we have a sole techno legal cyber security research centre of India that is managed by Perry4Law and PTLB.

PTLB is also managing the exclusive techno legal cyber security training and educational centre of India and techno legal centre of excellence for lifelong cyber security learning in India.

Close association and coordination with expert techno legal institutions like PTLB is the need of the hour. Let us hope that Indian government would collaborate and coordinated with institutions like PTLB to make its cyber security initiatives more holistic and effective.

Cyber Security Laws In India

Cyber security, cyber forensics, etc are fields that require techno legal expertise to manage. The growing cyber security issues in India and demand for cyber forensics in India has increased the demand for techno legal skills development in India.

At Perry4Law and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) we have been ensuring legal enablement of ICT systems in India for long. We are also managing exclusive techno legal centre of excellence for cyber crimes investigation in India, techno legal centre of excellence for cyber forensics in India, cyber security research centre of India, etc.  In this work we are discussing the cyber security laws of India.

The debate between self regulatory environment and a regulatory environment has always been a part of technology related laws. Some believe that issues like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, etc must be regulated by the government whereas others believe that they should be left to individuals and organisations as self regulatory mechanisms.

In this present fragile and dangerous cyberspace it would not be advisable to leave everything upon self regulation mechanism. Issues like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, etc deserve to be regulated at national and international level.

We have no legal framework or laws for cyber security in India. Of course, a few provisions have been incorporated in this regard in the information technology act, 2000 of India that is the sole cyber law of India. However, we need express and dedicated cyber security legislation in India as soon as possible.

Even the cyber law of India needs to be upgraded and strengthened. We need stringent provisions against cyber criminals and not the soft provisions that are presently incorporated in the Indian cyber law. By making the offences and cyber crimes “bailable” India has made its cyberspace a “free zone” and “safe heaven” for cyber criminals and cyber offenders.

It seems the problems of Indian cyber security are multi facet in nature. We do not have sufficient laws, we lack proper strategies and policies, and we do not care much about cyber security.

To start with we must formulate a pro active cyber security policy of India. Then we must proceed towards strengthening our existing cyber law and enacting an effective cyber security law of India. The sooner we consider these issues the better it would be for the cyber security of India.
