Cyber crimes are on the rise in India.
In fact, India ranks fifth among countries most affected by rising cyber
crime, reveals a survey conducted by Security and Defence Agenda (SDA)
and McAfee.
The report, ‘Cyber Security: The Vexed Question of Global Rules’, which sheds light on India's current IT security scenario,
says the biggest challenge for the country is to train and equip the
law enforcement agencies including the judiciary, especially outside the
metro cities. The report further points out the premium on Internet
privacy in the country is low.
"India is acutely aware that cyber crime
is based for its reputation as a country where foreign investors can do
business and has been investing heavily in cyber -security,” says the
report, stressing need for a centralised management to control Internet,
telecom and power sectors.
The report, however, lauds the
government for gaining valuable experience in dealing with compliance
regulations from around the world with the IT Amendments Act of 2008. To
