http://www.mynews.in/fullstory.aspx?storyid=16483 By V.K.Singh 12/3/2009 National security and cyber security in India is passing through a bad phase. The recent terrorist attacks have unambiguously proved the deficiencies and weaknesses of Indian defence mechanisms. India failed to cope up with both traditional terrorism as well as contemporary technology driven cyber terrorism. The technology has further complicated the situation because we have a weak cyber law in India in the form of Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act, 2000). A weak cyber law accompanied with absence of legal framework for terrorism is coming heavily upon India. Is it that difficult for the government of India to appreciate this bitter truth and act accordingly? India does not have technical resources and expertise as well as legal framework to tackle terrorism and cyber terrorism. The citizens of India must come together in this hard time and provide their valuable suggestions and inputs to the government of India. One such novel and timely action has already been undertaken. Letters regarding “Constitutionality” of the proposed Information Technology (Amendment) Bill, 2006 and National Security Policy of India have been sent by Mr. Praveen Dalal, Managing Partner of Perry4Law, to the Prime Minister of India (Dr. Manmohan Singh), President of India, Parliament Members (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), Government of India (GOI), Department of Information Technology (DIT), Department of Science and Technology (DST), CERT-IN, etc. _______________________________________________ Best Selling Security Books and More! http://www.shopinfosecnews.org/Received on Mon Mar 16 2009 - 01:14:37 PDT
