Indian Police To Fight Cybercriminals

No, it is not science fiction. Cybercriminals are spreading around the world faster than we can imagine. They are in India too and India is under serious threat from the cybercriminals. India is the outsourcing giant. So, any big attack on the multi billion dollar IT sector can prove very fatal for the economy of the country. Indian government officials have decided that it is time they should train their own police to fight against cyber-crime.

InformationWeek reported:

The state of Karnataka, home to tech hot spot Bangalore, on Thursday announced the opening of a lab where it expects to train more than 1,000 police officers and other law enforcement personnel annually in cybercrime investigation techniques. The center, located in Bangalore, will be the third such facility opened by Indian authorities. Cybersecurity centers already operate in the cities of Mumbai and Thane.

"Various forms of cybercrime are on the rise around the world, and while India continues to be among the safest places in respect to a strong security framework, there's a continuous need to be vigilant," says Nandkumar Saravade, director of cybersecurity and compliance at NASSCOM, a lobby group representing India's outsourcing industry. NASSCOM is launching the center in partnership with the government of Karnataka. India's Canara Bank is also participating in the project.

 

 

 

I know that it is not enough but it surely is a good beginning. In 2006, we saw several reports about data theft from Indian call centers and these reports damaged the image of Indian outsourcing industry. Let us hope that this effort can make a difference to India.
