Cyber Security Service Providers In India

Cyber security in India is a cause of concern for all the stakeholders. India has to strengthen its cyber security capabilities for which private players are playing a crucial role. There are very few cyber law firms in India and cyber security law firms in India.

Further, there are very few techno legal cyber security service providers in India that are providing cyber security services in India. The cyber security firms and companies in India are trying their level best to adopt the international best practices for effective cyber security. However, cyber security firms, companies and consultants in India must be pro active rather than reactive.

Cyber security issues in India are so diverse and complicated that we need dedicated efforts on the part of Indian government. Private techno legal cyber security service providers in India like Perry4Law’s Techno Legal Base (PTLB) have been playing a decisive role in this regard that can be really crucial for Indian cyber security initiatives.

PTLB is managing the exclusive techno legal cyber security research and development centre of India (CSRDCI), national cyber security database of India (NCSDI), cyber crimes investigation centre of India, cyber forensics research and development centre of India and many more such techno legal initiatives.

In the present cyber security environment, the techno legal cyber security services of PTLB have become an absolute requirement where both technical and legal aspects of cyber security are taken care of at a single place.

National Intelligence Grid (Natgrid) Project Of India

NATGRID Project is an essential requirement for robust and effective Intelligence Agencies and Law Enforcement functions in India. The urgent requirement is to ensure that its “Abuses” can be anticipated, prevented and remedied. Further, Natgrid Project of India must also be supported by a Legal Framework and Parliamentary Oversight.

Central Monitoring System Project Of India

Central Monitoring System Project of India (CMS Project of India) is a very crucial project. There are some real problems for the CMS Project of India. We have no dedicated Privacy Laws in India, Data Security Laws in India and Data Protection Laws in India. Further, the CMS Project of India is also beyond the “Parliamentary Scrutiny”. The Cyber Law of India, incorporated in the Information Technology Act 2000 (IT Act 2000), was drastically amended through the Information Technology Amendment Act 2008 (IT Act 2008).

Further, we have no E-Surveillance Policy in India. Even Phone Tapping in India is done in an “Unconstitutional Manner” and even by private individuals with or without Governmental approval.

Cyber Forensics Courses In India By PTLB

The word computer forensics depicts a picture of science fiction movie where cops or professionals engage in the same with great ease and style. However, in real life things are not as easy and glamorous as they are shown in movies.

Computer forensics is not an easy task. Rather it is a complicated procedure that requires great cyber skills development. Computer forensics requires practical scientific knowledge about computers and associated accessories. The evidence acquired through computer forensics must be legally admissible hence every precaution must be taken to acquire evidence in a legally acceptable manner.

Computer forensics in India is still at its infancy stage. This is so because there is a general lack of legal enablement of ICT systems in India. In the absence of adequate legal enablement of ICT systems in India, cyber forensics has also not developed much.

Another reason for lack of computer forensics in India is absence of adequate and qualitative techno legal cyber forensics institutions. There are very few institutions that provide cyber forensics educations and training in India. However, cyber forensics is techno legal in nature that must cater both technical and legal requirements of the learners.

India has a single techno legal cyber forensics research, training and educational institution. It is managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB). The centre is providing techno legal cyber forensics education, trainings and course in India.

PTLB is providing its cyber forensics courses and other techno legal course and trainings through the use of e-learning and online education models. Registration for online education and trainings in the field of cyber forensics and other techno legal courses of PTLB can be done through its online platform.

The present course is a basic level course and highly specialised courses would also be provided in future. The same would be managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC).

Some of the topics covered by the basic level computer forensics course include basic introduction about applicable law, cyber law of India, digital evidencing in India, e-mail tracing, data recovery, etc. The students or professionals undergoing the basic level trainings and education from PTLB would be given preference for courses and trainings undertaken by PTLITC.

Application form for the enrollment to various courses, internships and trainings can be downloaded from here and more details about the courses of PTLB can be found here.

PTLITC is also in the process of providing highly specialised and domain specific techno legal trainings, courses and educations in the fields like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, anti cyber terrorism, anti cyber warfare, human rights protection in cyberspace, lawful interceptions and self defence against unlawful interceptions, etc.

If you have a temperament for techno legal course, get yourself a seat as techno legal profession is going to be one of the most remunerative and in demand profession in future.
