Cyber
forensics has been long ignored in India for long. Now
Indian government has shown some indications that cyber forensics
would be considered to be a part of Indian law enforcement
requirements.
Cyber forensics is also required to strengthen the
cyber
security capabilities of India. In fact, a cyber
security policy of India is already in pipeline. However,
the missing
links of cyber security in India and cyber forensics in
India are still glaring at the face of governmental claims.
Cyber
forensics in India is not in a good shape. In fact, cyber
forensics and Indian approach in this regard is not
conducive for the long term growth and development of cyber forensics
in India.
According to Praveen Dalal, managing partner of ICT
law firm Perry4Law
and leading techno legal specialist of Asia, Cyber Forensics has not
found favour with the Executive, Judiciary, Legislature and the
Administrative Branches of India. We have no dedicated Cyber
Forensics Laws in India.
Clearly, cyber forensics in India needs rejuvenation and it is for the Indian government to take immediate steps in this regard.
