One thing common among the cyber
law trends in India, cyber
crimes trends in India and the cyber
security trends in India provided by Perry4Law
and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB)
is the growing number and incidences of cyber crimes in India and
cyber attacks against India.
Naturally, India needs effective cyber laws, robust
cyber security and appropriate cyber forensics capabilities. Cyber
forensics in India is still trying to catch up with the
techno savvy criminals who are defeating the law enforcement agencies
and legal system of India.
Even on the front of cyber forensics skills and
capabilities, there are very few cyber
forensics firms and companies in India. We have a single
techno legal cyber
forensics research centre of India that is managed by
Perry4Law, PTLB and Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre
(PTLITC).
So why is it that we have such low numbers of cyber
forensics experts and firms in India? The problem lies with the
educational system of India that has ignored professional and
vocational skills for decades. Another related problem in this regard
is the indifferent and discouraging attitude of Indian government
towards seeking services and cooperation of cyber forensics laws
firms of India like Perry4Law.
If right individuals, firms, and companies are not
at right place at the right time, the end result would always be
injurious to India. However, Indian government is least bothered to
appreciate this aspect.
In these circumstances, the online
cyber forensics courses and trainings in India by private
players become very important. For instance, the virtual
campus for cyber forensics education in India by PTLB is a
good initiative that can help in bridging the cyber forensics skills
gap of India.
We need more educational institutions, firms and
companies that can provide trainings and education in the field of
cyber forensics. In order to achieve this cyber forensics companies
and firms in India must innovate and dare to explore new areas.
Further, the attitude of Indian government towards
existing cyber forensics education providers of India must be more
liberal. They must be extended more facilities, grants and
recognition so that professional cyber forensics trainings and
education in India can flourish.
