Chandigarh 20th March:-- Cyber Security should be divided into two parts with security joining in only at the later stages. Apart from focusing on exterior safety, companies should also focus on internal safety with unique codes, so that it cannot be intruded”, accentuated J S Bhatia, Executive Director, CDAC Noida at the Seminar on Business Impacts of Cyber Attacks & Its Counter Measures, organized by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in association with Centre for Development of Advance Computing (CDAC), here today.
Darpan Kapoor, Chairman, CII Chandigarh Council & Vice Chairman, Kapsons Group mentioned, that Cyber criminals today are increasingly leveraging malware, bots and other forms of sophisticated threats to attack organizations for various reasons, including financial gain, business disruption or political agendas. Cyber criminals are now no longer isolated amateurs. They belong to well-structured organizations with money, motivation and goals, often employing highly skilled hackers that execute targeted attacks.
Magesh Etharajan, Director, CDAC Hyderabad mentioned that people should be aware about the cyber security measures and should not follow others blind folded. He added that CDAC has been working very hard for the safety measures on cyber safety and on PAN India basis they have conducted more than 600 workshops.
Sameer Goel, Past Chairman, CII Chandigarh Council & Delivery Manager, Infosys Ltd highlighted that the digital technology touches virtually every aspect of daily life today. Social interaction, healthcare activity, political engagement or economic decision-making – digital connectivity permeates it all, and the dependence on this connectivity is growing swiftly. Greater reliance on a networked resource naturally makes us more interdependent on one another. As the new, shared digital space evolves, the collective imperative is to develop a common set of expectations to address systemic risks, and to define not only the roles but also the responsibilities of all participants in the cyber ecosystem. The obligations will encompass several key issues – from privacy norms to Internet governance policy – but the collective ability to manage cyber risks in this shared digital environment is fundamental. It forms the crux of cyber resilience. Organisations will have to make increasingly difficult decisions over the trade-offs between the advantages of an interconnected world and the risks of cyber- attacks.
Over 125 representatives from industry & government attend the seminar.
