National Security Database Of India

In a much needed development, Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) has constituted the first ever techno legal national cyber security database of India (NCSDI). This is a significant development that can go a long way on strengthening of cyber security of India.

The NCSDI is a part and parcel of much larger and more specialised initiative of PTLB. It is part of the exclusive techno legal cyber security research centre of India (CSRCI) managed by PTLB.

The NCSDI would consist of techno legal cyber security experts of India who should be enrolled with PTLB in this regard. Those interested in enrolling with NCSDI must read the enrolment criteria for the same.


NCSDI would also be an essential part of various cyber security initiatives and projects of Indian government and private cyber security players of India and abroad.

NCSDI is a very ambitious and much needed initiative of PTLB that deserved support and collaboration of Indian government and various cyber security stakeholders. Let us see how NCSDI and CSRDI would strengthen the cyber security environment of India.

Cyber Security And India

Cyber security of India is the buzzword these days. Cyber security players are discussing the issues and challenges, policy and strategy, international cooperation, strategy, problems, crisis management plan, data protection laws, data security laws, cyber security laws, encryption regulations, encryption policy, social networks and cloud computing and more similar areas pertaining to Indian cyber security.

Further, governmental projects like central monitoring system, national counter terrorism centre (NCTC), national critical information infrastructure protection centre, national cyber coordination centre, etc have further complicated the Indian cyber security equation.  

These issues cannot be resolved till we have an effective and implementable cybersecurity policy of India that incorporates all the abovementioned aspects. Indian government has constituted a cyber security council that is a good step in the right direction.

Cyber security of India is under transformation and private cyber security players have played a major role in the same. The cyber security research centre by PTLB is the classic example of the same.

There are many issues in this regard that have still to be managed by India.  Let us hope that India government would resolve the same with the help of techno legal expert institutions like PTLB.

Perry4Law And PTLB Releases Research Report On Media And Entertainment Industry Growth And Challenges In India

Media and entertainment industry of India is booming these days. Even the Indian government is taking many pro active steps to help media and entertainment industries grow and flourish in India.

This growth pattern of media and entertainment industry is also accompanies with techno legal compliance requirements. There are many regulatory concerns that media and entertainment industry must keep in mind.

However, these regulatory concerns are complex in nature. Luckily Perry4Law and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) have made this daunting task very easy. A research report on growth and challenges of entertainment and media industry of India has been released by Perry4Law and PTLB.

The research report has claimed that although the entertainment and media industry growth and challenges in India are imminent yet the legal issues of entertainment and media industry in India would increase.

This is a clear sign that the media and entertainment industry of India must be well prepared to handle these techno legal challenges. We ourselves believe that Indian media and entertainment legal challenges must be taken very seriously.

We are sure that this research report of Perry4Law and PTLB would be useful to all media and entertainment industry stakeholders of India and abroad.

Indian Cyber Security Council Constituted

Cyber security cannot be managed till we have governmental will and public support. We cannot have public support till the government actually takes some concrete steps in the direction of strengthening of cyber security. One such step has been taken by Indian government.

According to the report published by my colleague, the cyber security council of India has been constituted by Indian government. This is a good step in the right direction as such an action was long due on the part of Indian government.

Although this is a modest beginning yet if Indian government is committed this can transform into a major cyber security initiative by Indian government. I am hereby sharing the report of my friend for our readers.

Cyber security of India has finally got the attention of Indian government. Indian government has been announcing many initiatives that could strengthen cyber security of India. Although these initiatives have come late yet this is a good beginning from all counts.

Now it has been reported that the Indian government has launched a new and dedicated wing of the country's National Security Council Secretariat (NSCC). The function of the proposed wing would be to deal with the growing cyber threat especially those from cyber terrorists.

Cyber terrorism against India, cyber warfare against India, cyber espionage against India, etc are on rise and this dedicated wing can be really helpful in this regard. The wing would coordinate with other existing law enforcement agencies. The objective of the wing would be to keep both public and private computer safe from cyber attack and malicious activities.

The proposed wing would work in the direction of ensuring coordination among various government departments of India so that both national and international cyber threats can be countered. Gradually the wind would be extended to make its initiatives and efforts more holistic and wide.

However, India still needs to stress upon cyber security research and development. Till now we have a sole techno legal cyber security research centre of India that is managed by Perry4Law and Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB).


Close association and coordination with expert techno legal institutions like PTLB is the need of the hour. Let us hope that Indian government would collaborate and coordinated with institutions like PTLB to make its cyber security initiatives more holistic and effective.

Indian Media And Entertainment Legal Challenges

The entertainment and media industry growth and challenges in India are imminent. With this growth, the legal issues of entertainment and media industry in India are going to increase. The media and entertainment industry of India must be well prepared to deal with these challenges.

According to India’s exclusive techno legal IP and ICT law firm Perry4Law, the media and entertainment industry is attracting attention of significant stakeholders in India. India’s media and entertainment business is estimated to grow by 18% over the next 5 years and is projected to grow into a 1.157 trillion industry by 2012.

Further, online entertainment business is the next big market for studios and broadcasters. The major changes are likely to occur in the video games, internet, casinos sectors and television distribution. A greater part of this development is anticipated from "BRIC" countries, i.e. Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Presently, the great markets of China and India are dominating this growth potential of media and entertainment industry. However, along with these market potentials there are some cause of concerns as well. The dealing of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) matters in India is one such concern.  It would be appropriate to know what the legal arrangements and challenges are in this regard. 

Indian media and entertainment industry may face the legal challenges of IPRs laws and cyber laws in India. IPRs laws like copyright, trademark, etc may be repeatedly violated and intermittently invoked to redress IPRs violations of media and entertainment industry in India. Likewise, media and entertainment industry must consider the directives akin to due diligence and supplementary provisions of Information Technology Act, 2000. There may be additional requirements which may carry certain new impugns - the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) being one of them. 

Furthermore, the media and entertainment industry will face new technological challenges. For example, the concerns relating to digital preservation in India of entertainment industry products may assume implications in future. This entails a domain specific and techno-legal expertise that India may not presently possess. We need to develop techno legal skills development in India in this regard.

The state of affairs moreover requires a move in the academic and professional education in India that needs to be duly implemented envisaging the modern and up to date needs. However, technological up gradations and educational improvements may not bring desired outcomes in the lack of public awareness in this regard. 

Ignorance of law is no excuse. Therefore, even if India has basic level laws and suitable technology, it may tolerate IPRs and cyber law infringements due to ignorance of applicable laws. In the dearth of public awareness all other ingenuity will fall short. However, it looks like, the time ahead for the media and entertainment industry will be both - exigent and exciting.

Cyber Security Research Centre Of India By PTLB

Cyber crimes and cyber threats have changed the entire cyber security scenario. Previously firewalls and anti viruses were the notion of cyber security. Now cyber security responsibilities have become too tedious to be managed by a single person or institution.

Cyber security research and development is very crucial to strengthen cyber security of any institution and nation. Cyber security is a constant procedure thus we need to learn, adapt and improvise our cyber security initiatives and efforts on regular basis.

The need for cyber security research centre of India was imminent. Thanks to the efforts of private players, Indian cyber security research centre is no more a fiction. The exclusive techno legal cyber security research centre of India has already been functioning in India for long.

The present cyber security environment of India needs effective skills development to deal with growing cyber threats against India. There are numerous vexing cyber security issues in India that requires attention at the highest level. Further, cyber security laws in India and cyber security policy of India must also be formulated.

Cyber security issues and problems of India require techno legal solutions as neither technical nor legal solution in itself is sufficient. Further, participation of private players is also needed to strengthen cyber security of India as managing India’s cyber security problems, issues and challenges cannot be left for the Indian government alone to tackle.

A special attention must be given to critical infrastructure protection of India. Recently Indian government proposed establishment of national critical information infrastructure protection centre (NCIPC) ofIndia that can help in protecting critical infrastructure of India.

In these circumstances the initiatives and efforts of Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) are really praiseworthy. PTLB has established the exclusive techno legal cyber security research and development centre of India. This cyber security centre is the first of its kind in India and world wide.

The cyber security centre is a good blend of legal and technical capabilities of PTLB that makes it unique and very effective. Through its skills development and training initiatives, it would ensure offensive and defensive cyber security capabilities for India and other nations. Let us hope that this cyber security centre of PTLB would be an integral part of all cyber security initiatives of Indian government.

Cyber Security Environment Of India

Cyber security issues in India have once again brought to the forefront the need of cyber security expertise in India. Realising that the government alone cannot meet the challenges of cyberspace, Indian government has decided to avail the services of private sector.

Cyber security in India is passing through a transformation phase. The invitation to private cyber security players of India to join governmental cyber security initiatives can further rejuvenate the cyber security initiatives of India.

With the growing cyber attacks against Indian critical infrastructure, there is an urgent need to ensure critical infrastructure protection in India. Even a national critical information infrastructure protection centre (NCIPC) of India has been proposed by Indian government but till now no action has been taken in this regard.

Of course, some very good private cyber security initiatives have been undertaken in India. For instance, Perry4Law, Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) and Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) have launched highly specialised and domain specific techno legal cyber forensics research centre of India, cyber security research centre of India and cyber crimes investigation centre of India to strengthen Indian cyber security and cyber forensics capabilities.

However, Indian government must also take pro active cyber security initiatives. Indian government can formulate cyber security laws in India, encryption laws and regulations in India, implementable cyber security policy of India, etc.

At the same time, Indian government must also stress upon cyber security skills development in India. Good techno legal training in the fields like cyber security, cyber forensics, ethical hacking, etc must be undertaken by Indian government. A special focus upon techno legal lifelong learning in India must be given. Let us hope the cyber security environment of India would be reformed very soon.

Cyber Security Issues In India

There are many cyber security issues in India that requires urgent attention of Indian government. For instance, issues like cyber terrorism, cyber warfare, cyber espionage, etc are some of the burning cyber security issues that deserve attention of our policy makers. This also means that we must develop both offensive and defensive cyber security capabilities in India.

For the past few years, serious cyber threats have been endangering the critical infrastructures of India and there is an urgent need to strengthen critical infrastructure protection in India. To achieve this objection, cyber security skills development in India must be immediately ensured.

While Indian government has been indifferent to cyber security of India for long yet a few committed and dedicated private players have been playing a pro active role in this regard. For instance, Perry4Law, Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) and Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) have launched exclusive techno legal cyber forensics research centre of India, cyber security research centre of India and cyber crimes investigation centre of India for long.

There is no doubt that cyber security of India is under transformation but we are too lax in this regard. The cyber security initiatives of India must be expedited as we do not have any more time to waste. Similarly, while cyber security initiatives have been strengthened by private players like PTLB yet Indian government must also play a pro active role in this regard.

It would be a good idea to seek the services of those who can make a difference in this regard. The same can be effectively achieved by formulating the cyber security policy of India and acting accordingly.
