Speaking during one day seminar on “Cyber Security and Privacy – Technical and Legal Compliance’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry in association with STPI, Ministry of Electronics & IT, Govt. of India at Infosys campus here on Thursday, he said “Law enforcement not caught up with issue on privacy. Regular police officer who sits in police office is still wondering what is privacy as it is not defined in IPC. Though we have laws to deal company related privacy issues; section 43 (a) which deals with privacy and offence defined under 72 (a), but we hardly have any laws in the country which are related to privacy breaches by media or individuals. So in police we are still wondering how to deal privacy related breaches”.

In recent days, functioning of police more of digitized. We are trying to bring digitisation of data wherever possible. Now one can see large number of police operations and police stations are on digital format. But still do law enforcement agency of today have technical capability outside, no we don’t, because selection of police officers into law enforcement is not based on technical ground we don’t have that method, we are long way to go in probably in creating manpower within the lawenforment agency. We need to learn and technically and ourselves for future”. He also called upon the organisers and participants that not only emphasis should be given to enlighten current issues but also to give more emphasis on securing data. At the same time he also requested universities to pitch in and start courses related cyber, data security and legal aspects.

External breach can kill company: Bhaskar Kalale, Vice Chairman of CII Mysuru who also spoke on the occasion said “When comes to data breaches, there are two, internal and external breaches. Most of the data breaches are not intentional. But when it comes to external breaches, there are chances of huge amount of loss to company, it could be loss of customary and intentional. According to an research to detect mega breach it requires 365 days that is a year and it may cost 1.7 billion dollars to the company, for small company it will be huge and never to be able to come out with loss. If we able to contain breach within 30 days the cost will come down but if we keep delaying the cost will escalate and incur more loss to the company. Hence regularly we need to keep tab on these issues and company must have process to check breach. S Radhakrishna, Convenor, IT and ITES Panel of CII Mysuru briefed about organising the seminar.
