Cyber
security research plays an important role in strengthening cyber
security of any organisation and nation. Cyber security being a
continuous process, we need to continuous adapt and improvise our
cyber security initiatives and efforts.
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) of India 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.
