Cyber security is a complex mechanism that combines
both technology and legal aspects. Further, cyber security also
involves conflict
of laws in cyberspace on the one hand and civil
liberties protection in cyberspace on the other hand. The
former is involved when the conflicting laws of two nations are
involved that is usually the case these days. The latter comes into
picture when the cyberspace policy of a nation is used to the
detriment of the other as usually happens in the case of
e-surveillance activities. Naturally international
cooperation in the field of cyber
security is need of the hour.
As far as India is concerned, the cyberspace
landscape of India is fast changing. According to law firm
Perry4Law,
the cyber security breaches in India would raise complicated
cyber security issues. The cyber security breaches need a mandatory
reporting mechanism in India.
Similarly, with the active use of e-governance in
India, cyber
security of e-governance services in India must also be
ensured. Indian cyberspace must be protected on a priority
basis but this would create many techno legal cyber
security challenges before the Narendra Modi government.
As cyber
security breaches are increasing world over, both national
and international stakeholders must deliberate upon this issue. The
sooner this is done the better it would be for the cyberspace at
large.
