MeitY to set rules to put onus of cybercrime reporting on companies
Speaking at the launch of IBM’s Security Command Centre for Asia Pacific, which has been set up in Bengaluru, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) said that the ministry will soon come out with regulations, which will put onus on organisations to report any cybercrime that may have happened against them, including data leaks.
He further stated that companies must report these crimes instead of being silent. In doing so, Chandrasekhar said the government would ensure that cyberspace remained a safe, trusted and open space for all.
“You will soon hear in the next few days that new regulations going out there that put the onus on organisations to report these crimes and not just push it under the carpet. It is important that at any given point, government and government agencies have absolute clarity on the threat matrix that is around and is active in the cyber space in India. We are investing heavily on capabilities. The internet must be safe, trusted and open, and intermediaries that operate on the internet must be accountable to the consumers,” he said.
Chandrasekhar said that India faced a million cybersecurity incidents in recent times, which were tracked and reported by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-IN) over the last year, which made the country the second most attacked as far as cybercrime was concerned.
