As India has become one of the most data usage country in the world there has been a considerable increase in the cyber risk vulnerability which according to panelists could impact the GDP growth of the Country if not addressed. The other important point of discussion during the Summit was the ownership of the data. As an Organisation we are exposed to appoxmately 30 million people on daily basis of which we collect date of about 3 million people and also we have to manage the data of 1.4 million employees for over 45-50 years. While we have to provide service and also are required to manage the data it becomes extremly difficult for us to manage both. Moreso when ownership and privacy of the data is concerned said Mr.Vijay K. Devnath GM (IS) MDMS CISO) Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS) Government of India.
The issue of who own the data and where should data be kept has become an important issue said Shashi Dharan Managing Director Bharat Exhibitions.
According to Mr. Amit Sharma Advisor (Cyber) Director at the Office of Secretary Department of Defence the Government of India has put in place various checks and balances to protect the data getting vunerable to cyber leakage. The ownership of data is very critical. There are discussion happening around this aspect on international level. Our government proactive on this front informed Mr. Sharma.
On the issue of CSO (Cyber Security Officer) Mr. Sharma said If this issue would have come up five years back then we were putting make a headway. However today at least every department of Government of India has a CSO. Supporting Mr. Sharma statement on CSO Mr. R. Shakaya DDG (Security Assurance) DoT Ministry of Communications said Besides the Government departments CSO has become part of many private sectors also like Banking and Telecommunication industries. However a lot needs to be done on this front so as to reach a more secure cyber environment.
