At the two-day Cyber Security Summit which concluded in the city on Friday, officials from the National Security Advisory Committee claimed that the government is firstly looking at capacity building and then eventually will work on the draft of the national cyber security policy which is currently under discussion.

The report further highlighted, “India is acutely aware that cyber crime is bad for its reputation as a country where foreign investors can do business and have been investing heavily in cyber security.”

However, it raised a grave issue that India lacks a single operator to control the internet, telecom and power sectors.

“Though CERT-India is the official coordinating authority, a host of other agencies are still involved. However, India has developed valuable experience in dealing with compliance regulation from around the world with the IT Amendments Act of 2008, that established strong data protection,” the report stated.

Further, experts claimed that the main challenge for India now is to train and equip the law enforcement agencies and judiciary, particularly outside big cities like New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.
