The rise of cybercrime in India made experts realize that proper awareness and integration of the security policies was needed. Corporates are needed to speed up their security in order to speed up their security in order to leave the frauds behind. They discussed at a seminar in Kolkata that in order to counter the cyber threats corporates shouldn’t only enhance their security but also provide training to their employees to decrease the risk factors.
“India is called the ransomware (a virus) capital of Asia. The cyber threats are rising to steeply here that corporate should not only enhance their security protocols but also impart security training to its employees to minimise the risk factors,” said Sandeep Sengupta, chief of a city-based data security company.
Senior offers of the state police’s cyber cell stated that issues like debit and credit card fraud along with bank account hacking happen every day now. They pointed the fact that criminals have the benefit of anonymity in cybercrime as they don’t have to be there physically in order to harm someone.
Being careful against fake websites or spam emails is necessary. Chatterjee who deals with Cyber and E-evidence law said, “In case of a cybercrime through social media, the biggest hurdle is to get the necessary data from the service provider. Unlike the telecommunication companies, the social media websites often refuse to share their user’s information due to security reasons. They even decline to share the IP address used to post or share something online”. It is necessary to distinguish between investigation and human rights violation in these cases, he pointed.
