For very long there was a dearth of cyber security
efforts in India. Now some private players have taken the task of
making the cyber security of India more effective and robust. Some
very good cyber
security initiatives in India have been launched by
Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB).
The chief among these initiatives are cyber
security research and development centre of India (CSRDCI)
and national
cyber security database of India (NCSDI). These two techno
legal initiatives would positively improve the cyber security
landscape of India.
These initiatives would also make the cyber security
of India more robust, resilient and effective. As on date cyber
security of India is not in a very good shape. There are many more
cyber
security issues in India that are still required to be
addressed by our policy makers. Cyber
security in India and its challenges and problems are too
vast to be managed by a single organisation or even by Indian
government.
According to Praveen Dalal, managing partner of
Perry4Law
and CEO of PTLB, Sophisticated Malware like Stuxnet,
Duqu,
Flame, etc have already proved that Critical Infrastructures around
the World like Power
Grids, Nuclear
Facilities, Satellites,
Defense
Networks, Governmental
Informatics Infrastructures, etc are vulnerable to diverse
range of Cyber Attacks. The truth is that Cyber
Attacks are affecting Indian Critical Infrastructure and
we are not even aware of the same.
Indian government must adopt the public private
partnership model with institutions like PTLB so that cyber security
in India can be more effective.
