Minister reckons dedicated cops necessary to protect digital transactions
India has announced a plan to train a specialized wing of 5000"Cyber Commandos" in the next five years, as part of its efforts to address cyber crime.
The division of cyber fighters were part of four major initiatives announced by minister Amit Shah. Other plans include the establishment of a Cyber Fraud Mitigation Centre , a centralized cyber crime coordination and data-sharing platform for law enforcement agencies – called the Samanvay platform – and the creation of a nation-level state registry of suspected cyber criminals.
Shah asserted the Cyber Suspect Registry must be interconnected across states as"states have their own boundaries, but cyber criminals have no boundaries."The initiatives all fall under the purview of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre – a national hub for coordinating prevention and response to digital baddies.
