Cyber
security issues in India have raised many novel problems
before various cyber security stakeholders of India. However, of all
these stakeholders the responsibility and problems of India
government are most onerous and troublesome.
Cyber
security initiatives in India are still maturing and cyber
security issues and problems in India are still
unredressed. Techno legal experts of India have been warning about
lack
of cyber security in India for long. However, despite
these wake up calls Indian government has been slow in reacting to
cyber security requirements of India.
According to Praveen Dalal, managing partner of
Perry4Law
and CEO of Perry4Law’s
Techno Legal Base (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.
In these circumstances critical
infrastructure protection in India is urgently needed. The
cyber
security in India has many challenges and problems that
must be tackled on an urgent basis. There is an urgent need to
involve techno legal cyber security institutions like PTLB to
strengthen Indian cyber security.
In fact, PTLB has been managing cyber
security problems, issues and challenges management in India
in a techno legal manner. The exclusive techno legal cyber
security research centre in India and national
cyber security database of India (NCSDI) are managed by
PTLB. Let us hope that Indian government would collaborate with PTLB
to make cyber security in India more effective.
