CBI signs MoU with NASSCOM for cyber crime investigation, training and computer forensics
CBI Director Ashwani Kumar said that the cyber crime detection and investigation are crucial to both the government and private sector due to its implications for security and economy. The government and law enforcement agencies on the one hand and the private sector led by the IT companies on the other can come together and forge a collaboration to fight this threat, on the occasion of MoU signing ceremony between CBI and NASSCOM at CBI HQs yesterday. This MoU is to establish collaboration between Law Enforcement Agencies through CHCIT Centre of CBI and the IT Industry through Data Security Council of India (DSCI) and NASSCOM, with the purpose of sharing better awareness on the emerging technologies, security standards, best practices amongst various enforcement agencies globally, newer challenges in managing Cyber crime and preparing the stakeholders in their ability to educate and update themselves in emerging cyber technologies leading to Cyber crime Investigation, Training & Computer Forensics.
The Director also announced in the gathering that it is only a matter of time when eventually all the exclusive CBI courts (existing & planned) will be converted into e-Courts, therefore, we have to prepare the investigators and prosecutors for this purpose. CBI has already initiated a process in this direction by providing laptops and cell phones to all its investigators and prosecutors and by providing them training in Computers in CBI Academy.
